Doesn't this kind of conflict with her whole "why release a new album" comments?

Stevie, if you wanna call back all that childlike innocence, do us all a favor and get back in the studio. You're happy and healthy and we'd love to hear some new material.

I was sort of thinking the same thing. I also have been thinking that maybe no label will take her in the way she wants. I think Warner's was pissed at the relatively lackluster sales of SYW and the concerts, esp. after the advances they shelled out - ditto for TISL - though they each sold about 800,000 or so in the US, which is not bad, but those numbers hardly support the advances, etc. So, I think she will record in a smaller way. I also think she realizes the Mac is done for good in the area of any new material, though they may or may not tour again. I also think she sees 60 approaching and wants to quiet her life down. Who of us would not like to retire at 50 much less 60.

So, in the end, I can't say I blame her. By the same token, I would love any new material she can put forth.
