Christine has really valued collaboration since her 1984 solo album. She's a team player. And there's no doubt she really wanted Lindsey to work WITH her on songs. But why, oh why, does he have to be such an a** sometimes? "That's something you always wanted me to do FOR you..." I'm sure he didn't mean it as an insult, but the guy really doesn't have a sense of tact.

The comment about Stevie's needs being more complicated is certainly a dig. A public criticism of her. Implied in it, too, is his sense that she needs him but won't admit it. She, in turn, is pretty much publicly showing the world she doesn't need HIM and can turn to her other soulmate. It's all so pathetic, really. These two and their ongoing conflicts.

What I wish the article gave us is a teaser of the actual two tunes mentioned! Just a teaser--30 seconds each!!

i agree with everything in this post (especially about the teaser! but if they released the teaser now it really wouldn't make sense to wait for another WHOLE YEAR to release all that new music), except the part that i bolded.

i don't think LB thinks SN needs HIM, specifically, anymore. but he would love to work with her, and forget about the baggage. last year he suggested they do exactly what he and Christine described they did on that one song where he had music but no lyrics.

but yes, i think you pinpointed the exact reason why SHE (SN) doesn't want to work with LB anymore - because she's trying to make sure nobody interprets their possible collaborations as she not being able to work without him. all the bitc*ing of SN fans how LB has ruined every song of hers that he touched since Mirage is all going in that same direction too "she doesn't need him, people!".
