I don't disagree with any of that.

By the way, estimations place the start of recording on 'Tango' in Late-Spring/Early-Summer of 1986. The album was released in April of 1987... so the band didn't work without Stevie for two years. Sounds more like it was just under a year.

Lindsey and Christine talk of recording for a solid 18 months in a few audio interviews I have. So how about we cut it down the middle?

I'm not trying to paint Stevie as a martyr, but she could have just as easily cited "personal reasons" for not appearing on the album and/or not touring.

I agree again. And I wouldn't think her a horrible person for doing it. In fact, I almost think it might have been better for her health if she had.
