I think Stevie's fans have the impression that the band discounts her because they don't appreciate her talent. I believe they do. If they kind of give her the "brush off, little sister" treatment, I think it's because they find her
silly. It's not because they don't think she's a good singer, songwriter and entertainer. Even on the first album with
Rhiannon, Landslide and John liking
Crystal, I think they thought she was valuable. When Mick told her she was instrumental on
Over My Head, I don't think he was flattering her, I think they all realized what she added to that song.
So, I don't buy that they ever underestimated her contributions to the band. They just maybe find her tedious.

I am funny. I crack up my band constantly. I could have been a comedian if I'd really wanted to. In Fleetwood Mac, I was pretty much told to be quiet at all times. I was so intimidated because I felt like nobody wanted me to be in the band and that they only wanted Lindsey, and me along for the ride.

I mean, this makes it seem like they just wanted her to be quiet because they thought of her as a child, but maybe they wanted her to be quiet because she was probably giggling, dancing, squealing and telling them about the 3 hours she spent taking selfies the night before, getting the lighting just right and placing candles all around the bathroom until they just couldn't take it anymore.
So you have giddy Stevie and Lindsey spending hours trying to make his guitar sound like a violin and no wonder the other 3 became big time alcoholics.
