I get why Stevie is mad at losing the 2+ years to COVID. However, she said in an interview that she was going stir crazy cooped up in her house, and that she's in a bubble with a few friends, and those friends said to her "hey we should record a whole bunch of stuff since we're stuck here" and she reported that she told them (in what came off as a real huff) that it was easy for THEM to say that when SHE is the one on the hook to come up with stuff to record.
Well, guess what, this would have been that perfect time to work on the Rhiannon stuff she always cried she didn't have time for.
Turn those journals into a book.
Alllllll the projects she SAYS she wants to do. The reality is, she can't focus.
One good thing about Dave Stewart was he cranks out content and pushed her to do same-- album, photo exhibits, etc.
Here's the other thing.... after a certain point you just can't pull of looking like the same Stevie Nicks you always did. There's only so much botox and plastic surgery before it makes you look hideous. And I don't see her as the 'age gracefully' type. When her looks decline further, I just think she's gonna have hard time. Her voice is already mostly gone.

I think she will never do another album or anything like that if she hasn't done it now while off the road. I think after covid lifts another attempt at a tour croaking out the oldies is it. And maybe the odd vocal guest spot on someone else's album track.
She has lost her final chance to leave us with something more than that.
