Not releasing music because people will only steal it anyways? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's cutting off the nose to spite the face. She'd rather not sell 1.5 million albums with Fleetwood Mac because they should be selling 3 million (numbers firmly pulled out of ass)? Instead of getting half of something, she'd rather have a whole of nothing? And, why is that only a concern related to Fleetwood Mac records?
Not liking Lindsey's production? Okay, who says she has to have him produce her songs? She could use her own producer, or even different producers for every song. Just have Mick, John, and Lindsey be her backing band. That seems like a pretty simple solution, and one other multi-vocalst bands have used (i.e. Crosby, Stills, & Nash).
I'm just tired of the excuses as to why we're not getting a new record.

I think you hit it right on the nail. As much as I love Lindsey, and love seeing the band live......he is just not producing her music the way he used to.... he takes her music to a very different place, and not always her style. The Say You Will demo songs of Stevie's sounded better...then the full album versions. I think his guitar playing is amazing on her songs though. But, they should work with a new producer and mixer. As much as Stevie won't admit it...........she wants a hit out there, she want's a new song out there with her voice on it....on the radio. Lindsey, I don't think really cares anymore......I think he enjoys having the freedom to put out whatever he wants.......
But......I ADORE my Stevie, and.....I would love for some of her songs to be played on the radio. In Your Dreams.......was amazing in my opinion. There were very radio friendly songs on there.
