She's either in or she's out. She can't be both. Sure, the band doesn't want to play smaller venues. Neither does she. If she wants the status of bandmate, then she is obligated to give them songs (and they don't really even have to be hers). She can't hold them hostage. Not anymore.

Agree 100%. Lindsey and Christine have both been told "you're with us or you're not" at one point or another and now it's Stevie's turn to be told that.

I think the big thing with the backlash against Stevie if she chooses not to record is the timing. When Lindsey left, they were in their 30s and 40s; now it's their 60s and 70s- there's not much time left to hem and haw on these things. And the biggest thing is Christine is back. If Stevie had announced she wanted out after the last tour, hey, all bands come to an end. But now she gets what she's been saying for years that she wanted, and now she's putting on the brakes. That can only make her look bad.

And as for taking a year to record this album? It's already mostly done. All she has to do is give them three songs, put on the backing vocals to Lindsey and Christine's songs, and boom, done. She can even give them three songs she doesn't care that much about if she's worried about what Lindsey's going to do with them. But she's not going to be stuck in a recording studio with them for a year like she was in the 70s.
