Anyone else really dislike Stevie now?

You mean the same stupid nostalgia cashgrab Lindsey would be doing if he hadn’t been fired?

I imagine she and Neil will probably have some kind of collaboration.

I don't think he would have continued indefinitely with greatest hits tours and no new albums (or other creative band projects). You're drawing a false equivalence between them. But the difference is that, while he would acquiesce reluctantly to yet another greatest hits tour and no album, she would positively revel in it. Have no doubt that he would have reached his departure point on his own, big machine or no big machine. You've reminded us yourself a million times how little he thought (and was willing to keep quiet about) the East West thingies.

Really, though, cash grab isn't the issue. Writing something new is the issue. He has it all over her in that department, although I guess you could argue that she's a lot more creative than he is in other media, like TV. (I of course give her all props for In Your Dreams in 2011.)

I imagine she and Neil will probably have some kind of collaboration.

They're by way of collaborating now. Oh, you mean they plan to write some songs together? No. They won't. They may have struck up a friendship on tour (or not). But he's a long way from becoming a Dave Stewart or a Sandy Stewart in her life.

David, just to clarify, Steve was referring to Christine and Neil, not Stevie.

Also, regardless of Lindsey's desire to record new music with FM, the lawsuit clearly shows he wanted to be part of the cash grab tour, which is the point Steve was making.

Umm...you do know that it's not by choice. If it were up to LB they would have an album out before EVERY TOUR.

You can try and try, but you'll NEVER get him to admit that.

Lindsey wanted to make new music. It’s not his fault the way things worked out.
