who should replace SN if she continues refusing to record

An interesting but ridiculous proposition. Stevie is not replaceable. It would seem like a cover band if someone else singing her songs. Bekka Bramlett was suitable only because it was a drastically different line up, without Lindsey, Stevie or Christine. Bekka wasn't a cookie cutter Stevie replacement, but it allowed them to perform a couple of her songs.

Yes, I'm on this train. The era of shuffling members in and out of this group as if they were chess pieces should have ended by now. The result always felt like a desperate move—a cloying expression, like "Please love us anyway."

You can replace refrigerator water filters because the new filters are built exactly like the old. But people don't work that way.
