Still, just putting the idea out there as something fans would enjoy seems like a fine idea. The band seems so preoccupied with milking the B/N relationship to death that such an idea probably hasn't even occurred to anyone.

Well, that's true, but they seem to get along well enough based on some recent comments on Lindsey's end, especially. Very much like a big sister-little brother relationship where even if they drive each other crazy, they still have this sort of fondness and bonding with one another. It could also prove to be a nice change of trajectory and focus. (because I have to admit, the B/N drama is becoming stale for me
)
I really believe that the C/L songwriting combo provides some of the best music The Mac has to offer, apart from Chris/Bob Welch (sadly he's dead now, may he RIP, and he and Chris didn't exactly part in good terms), and such combination would be quite fruitful, if done properly (like no pressuring of things the other doesn't want to do, fundamentally speaking). Lindsey has lots of material, and Chris has been writing new music. Why not combine them into a collaborative effort while adding come collaborative songs in the process? Lindsey
lives for the studio and Chris is definitely receptive to the idea of recording, just not the other things associated with the Big Mac Machine.
But yes, I don't think it has ever occurred to anyone in the band.
