They aren't getting any younger. Time is not on their side. I don't think any of them want to end their legacy with a whimper, leaving their album Say You Will as the coda of their long legacy. Christine's return shouldn't be squandered on a just a blatant cash-grab tour. A tour is a fleeting moment, an album is a lasting contribution to their recorded their history.
They just came off the road from their 2013 tour, then Christine returns. Their snap reaction is to book another tour! Ideally, they should have dedicated all their time and focus on creating what could possibly be their last album. It would have allowed some space for Stevie to promote her album; and she would probably be more amenable to working with the band.
Lindsey does a great job spinning this tour as such a profound chapter in the evolution of the band. But there's nothing profound or evolutionary just because Christine's songs are back in the set. It's just business as usual, as it was, and is again. Greed overruled art.
