bottom line: she does not want to record with FM. nothing they offer her will change that - her hand-picked producers, no need for studio time together, recording fast, nothing. she wants to be the boss and not equal player in the team. and FM is a team.

Maybe she's tired of Lindsey recording in his bathroom? Maybe she's tired of only being given 3 slots while Lindsey hogs the album with his solo stuff?
I just think it's funny that you say she's not a team player when we know about all the accommodations the band had to make to keep Lindsey happy after Rumours. Stevie had 3 songs each on FM and Rumours, but she sang lead on only 2 each. In Tusk, she had 5, Christine had 6, and Lindsey had 9. Then on Mirage, she went down to 3 vs Lindsey's 5, and on Tango she again had 3 vs Lindsey's 5.
On Behind the Mask, Stevie had 3 solo songs, a duet on 1, and appeared prominently on other songs, especially In the Back of My Mind. So yeah, it's obvious she doesn't like to work with Lindsey, but no one thinks he should do anything differently.
Maybe if Stevie wanted to record certain instruments herself in her bathroom without the other band members present, or wanted the produce Lindsey's songs herself, I'd agree she's not much of a team player. Oh wait, that's Lindsey.
