Stevie's everywhere except in the studio.

I agree, SHE is hesitant to go into the studio with him. She's afraid to screw with this hard-won truce she's finally got going with him.

Maybe if we're talking live, but in the studio Lindsey just wants to make music. That's why he recorded all his songs without Stevie and he's currently working on Christine's songs without Stevie. It can't be a "primary" motivation when he can't have realistic expectations that she's going to be heavily involved in the process. Lindsey is an artist who needs to make music. That's his motivation. Stevie apparently could take it or leave it.

Within the context of FM, I think Lindsey is always crossing his fingers and hoping for more from her, tbh.. he can't always get what he wants- I think this is what he means by it still being a political situation getting everyone on the same page. I'm just saying in the future, if she was truly done with Fleetwood Mac, I think he would be too. He'd be back to solo work.
