should FM release the album without SN's songs?

Waiting one more year is a cake-walk after all that.

I do understand how you feel, though, Elle.

yes, but they are in their 60s and 70s now. time is not on their side, anymore.

And it's already been 11 years since SYW. There's no need to keep waiting and hope something different will happen, since that hope has been extinguished before.

If Stevie is done with a brand new solo album in 2 weeks, HELL even an EP, I'll eat my tambourine.

I don't know when she will be done with it, but when will there be announcements about it?

I guess that's why she got her twitter account verified.

Dave Stewart has been made aware of the fact that Mick "spilled the beans" so we shall see if anyone from "camp Stevie" breaks the silence and tweets about this...Yes Stevie's twitter was "verified" just days before Nashville and is steadily gaining followers on a daily basis...

I think the twitter verification had to do with the Jimmy Fallon guest appearance. She had 1,000,000 youtube views the next day on that video. She's never grossed so quickly on the internet before that. I bet either Stevie's people or the Twitter people were dragging their feet until they saw that huge increase of interest.

She's either going to cut ties with FM after this tour to complete/promote this album or it's going to get brushed under the rug for a while.

another thing to think of:

• Stevie was a part of EP
• Stevie has 9 songs on SYW

yet, most SN fans seem to really dislike both of these. so what makes people think that just because she contributed to the album, her fans will be behind it in droves??

plus, just think of the press for this?! the articles are basically writing themselves!!

FM is a band that has been thriving on highlighting the conflict between various band members, whether made up or real. this should generate tons of press and speculations!!

lets see, i'm not good at this but how about:

• lovefest on stage but fallout in the studio!
• inside FM reunion: what is really going on?
• Christine came back, but Stevie still just cannot stand to put up with LB in the studio (just watch that "you wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan" clip to see what we mean!), and had to sit the album out!
• watch their dynamic on stage where we can see all 5 and compare that to what is coming out on the album!?!
• will this band ever find some peace and common language?
