They were busy recording, and didn't need me, so I went down, and I wrote Dreams! and I'm usually shy about sharing my songs (  plz, btch!) but I wasn't shy about this one at all! (Insert something about a few chords that she knows on a piano) So I played Dreams for them, and blah etc!"
oops...uh...okay, I'm sure the insights would be different and special and better for BN - but...That's my little reenactment of what will be said.

Ah, but you're assuming the liner notes are written by Stevie. I say no bloody way to that. Genuine insights & historical perspective would be offered by grand old rock critics, like Stephen Holden, Steve Pond, Greil Marcus, Ben Fong-Torres or Ken Tucker.
Chrissy Hynde is the only pop artist I can think of who might write good liner notes, her having worked briefly as a journalist before she started the Pretenders. Stevie's liner notes would be really stupid & vague; I wouldn't want that.
How about a rerelease of Buckingham Nicks remastered digitally in a box containing the CD AND a DVD concert of a 1975 Fleetwood Mac show, featuring a couple of Buckingham Nicks songs? The box would be sort of like "Enchanted," with a booklet of dozens & dozens of photos -- Buckingham Nicks in concert in 1973 & 1974, Fleetwood Mac hiring the new members in 1975, Fleetwood Mac playing early gigs with the newbies -- & GREAT LINER NOTES, TEN PAGES LONG IN SMALL TYPE, WRITTEN BY KEN TUCKER!!
