It's coming from the truth? Maybe she's just voicing the way they all feel. As I've pointed out, there are many artists in their generation who are struggling to find out how to manuever in this new digital age. Labels don't want them, don't have the money, can't afford to promote them, won't promote them, drop them...
I think it's a stretch to call the most powerful management gurus in the business "inept"...
Surely they must all know something we don't know!

What really incensed me was reading that the group worked on eight new songs and Stevie declined to sing and record all of them. WTF?

She explained that she was still grieving her mom -- and then went back and put vocals on at least three songs we know of - maybe more.

Who could have ever predicted that, at this latter stage in their careers/life, Lindsey would have a resurgence of creativity and progress, and Stevie, who always proclaimed her devotion to the band, would be the one to stall all efforts to extend Fleetwood Mac's legacy and give fans something new to look forward to. Thanks Stevie.

How do we know that's all her fault and not more about the business - not having a label? Or trying to work through all that? We are going to get new music, it just might not be a full album. And, it's been suggested they might do one after they see how this goes. How do we know that's not what the label has offered them - we'll "throw" this EP out and see how that goes and then maybe an album deal will come from that.
I would think it must be tough blow to the ego for the label not to be knocking down your door any more to get a new album.
