Stevie as scapegoat

This is exactly why it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who wanted him replaced by a Heartbreaker, killing two birds with one stone, figuratively speaking.

Christine would never say a bad word about anyone.

John rarely complains about anything.

Mick didn't complain often about Lindsey as Mick is usually focused on getting the best quality studio album completed.

So that leaves Stevie as the one to speak out about Lindsey's exhausting studio projects. Anyone who has watched one of the Mac documentaries knows that Lindsey spends many, many months on an album project sometimes spending weeks on a single song while keeping the other band members in a separate room waiting for hours until Lindsey needs them for something. Lindsey can sometimes take days to decide on one small part of one song. And I commend Lindsey for his hard work and single-minded focus which is an extraordinary skill that resulted in some of the best music of all-time. However, I don't think it's unreasonable for Stevie to say that at the age of 70, she no longer wants to go through that exhausting process of recording a studio album with Lindsey.
