This is just my opinion but Lindsey was definitely not going to give Stevie anymore songs than 3 on Mirage. While recording the album, Bella Donna was still cranking out singles and high on the charts. I see him grabbing the wheel to make sure the new album was not going to be Bella Donna 2 or make Stevie even a bigger star. I don't see Stevie protesting because she just had the biggest moment in her life as a recording artist.
