I read none by her as well. Maybe some of the In the Meantime interviews discussed it, but I do not recall that. I do recall La Nicks, Mick, and (I think) LB) discussing her willingness to participate but not go on the road, which was the problem. I understand the band's logic and essentially agree. Then, I hear Steal Your Heart Away and realize logic aside, it was a mistake because that song is pure Rumours era Mac and it is delightful in part because of CM's voice.
In the end, I say if La Nicks is resigned never to having a hit single again due to the reasons she has cited (kids lying on the floor smoking dope waiting for the next FM record
) -- then why not let CM record -- what do they in reality have to lose compared to the potential gain.
But, maybe now CM would not record with them. After all, that was over seven years ago and she officially left in 97.
