My feelings exactly! Joni and many other legendary artists (and many not so legendary) put manage to put out albums with fair consistency...without a requisite need for huge attention and sales. They do it for their artistic expression and for their fans.
I think there is a mindset among the Fleetwood Mac/Stevie camp that the heyday of the seventies is still in play -- i.e. spend a year or more and millions of dollars making an album and hope for massive, world-wide success. And if those exceptations aren't met, then deem it a failure. So why record anything at all?
At least Lindsey ( and to some extent Mick) has bucked that trend. He knows his albums will never sell at massive levels, but he's content to do his art and accept that the music industry isn't nothing like it used to be. I wish Stevie (and her management) could be a little more like Lindsey in that regard...a little less extravagant, a little more accepting of how things are now....."
