Personally I feel Stevie owes FM a few good songs for a new FM record! Prolific songwriter that she claims to be? More BS or has the well run dry?!

Doesn't she have anything important left to say? To inspire, change, and affect people's lives? Isn't that what should be the real driving force of writing and making music? Or is it about sales and money? Is she really that shallow? I hope she proves me wrong. A lot of her words and songs have been so inspirational and moving in my life.

I know what you mean... a lot of people felt the same way when Lindsey left the band. And when Christine left the band. Guess Stevie just felt it was her turn. I wonder if Christine having a fear of flying was just b.s. because her well had run dry.

But, Stevie hasn't left the band.

She had her turn from 1991-97.

ETA: While on her hiatus,, Christine released a solo album, which is only one solo album and a Fleetwood Mac album less than Stevie's output in that time frame, and she was mostly retired.

ETA2: Lindsey contributed a song to the box set in 1992 when he wasn't in the band anymore and helped finish "Paper Doll," not to mention his cameos on BTM and Time.

When you have nothing left to say, you have to leave, like Lindsey and Christine did in the past (oh, and don't forget Stevie!).

If your inspiration returns, you can always come back, like they all did.

This privilege of "being in a band but doing whatever I want" doesn't work for me.

Is it really that shallow of someone to want to make money? Who here would still go to work if there was no pay?
I wish Stevie would make a record with FM, but she's not shallow if she chooses not to. Please...

Good god, wake tf up. She doesn't NEED any more money. This is about EGO.

She's been acting jealous ever since Christine came back. She didn't realize how much Christine meant to the band's legacy, and to the fans.

She wants to be the center of attention, and she ONLY feels like that now when she's solo(because even when Chris was gone, Lindsey outshone her by leaps and bounds). And she SHOULD be solo, but she won't walk away from the payday, and ~what attention~ she does get with FM.

Lindsey and Chris walked away when they'd had enough, but she won't. She'd rather hold them hostage. She's a drama queen.

I never said she NEEDS money. And that's your opinion, what you think means nothing to me or a lot of people on this board. Why don't you wake tfu

I guess her ego was a bit hurt on that last concert on Thursday when a fan shouted at her to shut up and sing.

Chris's return meant sold out arenas and additional concerts on many cities (London, Sydney), something Stevie probably didn't expect.

Many of us wants her out if she clearly doesn't feel comfortable around the rest of the band, and even though she didn't bluntly express it, she say it every time she praises working with her friends (Tom Petty, Don Henley, Chrissie Hynde).

She should leave and end this drama, or say once and for all what she wants so they can all move on with their respective projects.

Lol this post is hilarious! Yes, I'm sure Stevie was so upset that their last tour sold so well, whatever the reason.

Love this fan fiction, uh, I meant post Lol!

Ummm, when did I talk about Stevie's solo tour? I was talking about FM's last tour.

I'm sure she was happy about the numbers on her last solo tour. In fact, that's all she cares about.

Glad to amuse you.
