Destiny Rules

It seems like the other four weren't that keen to leave LA to record the album. Lindsey would have had young children, and probably he wanted the comfort of recording locally. Also, there are tax issues raised by recording in England, so it would have been tricky -- that's why Mirage was recorded in France to begin with.

Now knowing that The Dance was probably a brief respite in what has been nearly 50 years of dysfunction, I don't know that there would be a resolution that would have worked for all of them, and specifically Stevie/Lindsey accommodating others. I did enjoy some of the two part harmonies on SYW, though, just as I did on Buckingham McVie. I think they were all of the mindset at some time or another that either a person is all in or they're out (LB/CM made pointed remarks about SN's absences over the years, the 1987 rift was about LB not touring, etc. etc.)

But, the thing I know for sure is that there is no sequence of events with these five people that doesn't end in some sort of dysfunction.
