1. There's no way he would join with MC and Neil Finn. That would take an even bigger dump of sh*t on FM's legacy. Stevie has sh*t on this band enough; and Lindsey and most of us know she has. Plus, that line up makes zero artistic sense. It doesn't even make sense without Lindsey but that's a whole 'nother story.

God Mick, if you even had an ounce of deference, or respect for the legend and artistic force that Lindsey has been for this band and rock and roll, you would never suggest such a thing. It's insulting. Is nothing sacred for you? You talk of the tradition of Peter Green who was in the band for a scant of a second, like he's the second coming of Christ. And yet you have shat and still sh*t on the man like he wasn't responsible for anything other than to become an ingredient for you to prosper on. It's so shameful.

2. The only way Lindsey would ever join Fleetwood Mac again would be with the Rumours 5. Very much a gigantic long shot, but financial gain and soul healing would be the draw for all of them to do it. It would heal his broken heart if they found a way not to gloss over the toxic past, but really come to a means of forgiveness and admission of ongoing conflicts.

And dare I say, make a f*cking album. It's been since 1987 since you people have paid any homage to why you exist. Creating music!! Take your band back from mgmt and get on with the show.

Stevie... "... not gonna happen.."

Let me preface my comments by saying I need to hear what, if anything of substance, Christine says in her upcoming BBC interview.

After Lindsey is done working his upcoming solo album and the Crowded House tour ends, I see the possibility of a Fleetwood Mac offshoot with Lindsey, Mick, Christine, and Neil, maybe a cameo from Mike, maybe one from Rick. Maybe have Mitchell Froom on keyboards and co-producer. I don’t know if John would be interested in recording if it wasn’t Fleetwood Mac, but I think those four at a minimum could make an amazing album together. I’d much rather have THAT over an arena tour.
