see this is the part of the argument i don't get. they were never working band with Stevie after the reunion. she was clearly not interested (and is still not), FM is just a vehicle for her own name for her. SYW as this whole thread shows was slapped together and negotiated to have the same number of Lindsey and Stevie songs, and was musically incoherent.
after the success of the reunion gave them all back their musical legends cred (vs the old dinosaur laughing stock band aura they had before that), once it became clear Christine was done and Stevie was only interested in solo name, there was no need to try to keep the band going (well other than for Mick, obviously). it was just a colossal 20-year waste of time (making tons of money for all of them and their managers in the process of course, but as fans that does next to nothing for us - other than taking tons of money outta our pockets).
Lindsey should have hired some smart business.PR person and pushed GOS out in 1998.
