i am kinda glad actually that he finally said what he, Mick, and John were doing at the beginning of this year. both he and Mick were circling around it the whole year in interviews, talking about 8 songs, about wanting to record with Stevie again, etc etc, but neither wanted to say what they actually did - they they got together and recorded enough tracks for at least a half of new album.

just look at the threads for the last year plus, since the talk of the possible Mac tour started - we all were blaming the whole FM, all members for not wanting a new album.

so i agree with you - this interview, together with SN's recent statements just clarified who does and who doesn't want new album. that's all. why blame the whole band when the 3 of them are probably much much more frustrated about no new album than the rest of us?

I agree... I was just addressing both points in a single post for the sake of economy.
