Stevie was the only member who wrote a new song expressly for 'The Dance,' and she wrote four brand new songs for 'Say You Will' while Lindsey's were all holdovers from his aborted original 'Gift of Screws.' She also spent three years on the road with them. I think she's made Fleetwood Mac just as much of a priority in recent years as anyone else in the band, even if she hasn't been waiting by the phone for them to call.

What I can't understand is why everyone's so upset that FM isn't going out on yet another cash-grab tour this year. Mick's disappointment makes sense, but we're the ones who'd have to shell out big bucks to see them play 75% of 'Rumours' for the millionth time.
