I can see the stories now: "It is so sad that the band had to end like this", says Nicks, wiping away a tear. "The band that I gave up my whole life to, just turned its back on me. I have always, always made Fleetwood Mac my first priority. When I did Bella Donna, my first ever solo album, it was a very big deal for me, but I only went on tour for 6 weeks because of my commitment to Fleetwood Mac. My band and I could have kept touring for that record for months and months but it was important to me to let Fleetwood Mac know that they were still everything to me. And now, after everything we've been through together, this will be our sad legacy, to be left out of what is probably their last album ever" etc etc

I could see her trying that approach. The difference between 1982 and now is that Stevie Nicks isn't really relevant anymore. The whole thing is ridiculous. I'd lay it out there and let her go to the press if she wants. Maybe that's one way to make Fleetwood Mac interesting again...a big ass war. Stevie whining...Lindsey giving his philosophical rambling replies...and then Chris just being all like "And now you see why I went into hiding for 16 years?"
