The fact that "Edge of 17" was even playfully rehearsed onstage during "Mirage" Tour rehearsals tells me that "Bella Donna" was, in fact, discussed in detail.....right down to the chords for playing one of its biggest hits. I can hear Christine talking.....and Lindsey playing guitar.......Tisk, tisk, Stephanie! You are rewriting history, again.
Bands do all kinds of things during rehearsals to blow off steam, so having your band mates goof around a bit trying one of your songs is quite different than any of them saying something to the effect of we heard your solo album and it was really good, congratulations. Which really kinda sucks, if you ask me. You put all this time and energy into something and your band mates can't even congratulate you?
