He wanted to release his music and his band was a valid way to do that.

Strand......I do not believe LB "runs back" to FM. Chris and Stevie made it very clear that they had an "intervention" type dinner, at Christine's, to talk him into doing the Dance. The four of them came to LB and talked HIM into doing the Dance. He made money off the tour..but so did everyone else, including La Nicks who DOES run back to FM. It was Stevie who handed LB the potential set list for the next Mac tour in 2007/2008.

I am sure the only reason Warner's did not drop LB from the label was because of FM, which is a money maker. But, that is just what I think.

As for Stevie running back to FM, in the 80's, she didn't need them to sell anything. She was crowned the reigning Queen of Rock and Roll for goodness sake, though by the OSOTM, her star had faded as had FM's. Clearly, they all used The Dance as a money maker, etc. Then, she hits rather big on her own with TISL and is in the limelight again. She did not need FM's SYW because TISL sold very well. So, I do not think she runs back to FM as much as she likes the people in it and is loyal.

Regading LB's unwillingness to do The Dance. Give me a break, he doth protest too much and is the most high maintanence straight male I have ever seen
