Why Hasn't Stevie Been Asked About The New FM Record?

Agreed - and that's also why I think she's decided to release an album of old songs that haven't been released before. Time is running out.

As I said in another thread - She won't live forever, and if she's wanted to get these songs out to the world - it's time to do it *now*. Time flies, and someday Stevie won't be around to finish her own songs. Perhaps the thought of some stranger taking artistic liberties with her demos for the benefit of label execs looking for a posthumous Christmas bonus has lit some fire under her. Her dad died. Her mom died. Chris has had health issues. She has no children of her own - no one to protect her legacy other than her niece. She's got to do it now if she wants it done her way.

I was just wondering that myself...Look at what is happening with all the unfinished/unreleased Michael Jackson songs... I wonder how Stevie would feel about someone finishing her old songs just to make a quick buck or worse turning them into some kind of collaboration with whatever pop star is the flavor of the month at the time...Can you imagine a new "Stevie" record featuring the Miley's, Taylor's, & Justin's of 15 years from now on her songs without her input...

Just the thought of this happening makes me completely ill!

But it's this very reason that I wish she would return to the band and work with them. They're all older and time is running out for all of them. I would have loved to have seen her say, "you know what? I'm going to give this precious time to the band that allowed me to build my career as a famous musician." But, hey, I get why her fans are psyched for a new 100% Stevie record.
