Lindsey's "team-player" comments made me think of old interviews, when Mick said he sometimes had to remind Lindsey that he was in a band. I do think they've each proven at different times over the years, that they're "team players" -- they're just not always on the same page at the same time.
I find it intriguing that Lindsey has, in three different interviews now, spoken with certainty that Stevie will be recording with the band after the tour -- while Mick is hedging and saying, "we hope she will."
Is Mick simply being superstitious and not wanting to "jinx" things by saying something more absolute? I still can't imagine Lindsey saying Stevie is planning to join them in the studio and has assured them of such, if she really hasn't. He doesn't pull punches, even when they're getting along. That 2013 Rolling Stone Q&A demonstrates as much. For that matter, his comments in this interview regarding Stevie's solo career do as well.

Indeed. And we fans buy into it. The "realists," the optimists, and the pessimists alike.
