Mick's pettiness -- a new low??

Actually, that was painfully clear. I read it as he’d really like to, but Stevie doesn’t want to. Just like in 2015-17.

Mike doesn’t have the same history with Stevie. They don’t have an adversarial relationship. It’s the same reason Mick and Christine waltzing at MusiCares didn’t rub Stevie the same way as Lindsey. Furthermore, Mike has contributed to all of her solo albums and holds the Heartbreakers card, so he probably has more leeway.

But Mick, Christine, Neil, and now Mike have let it be known that they want to make new music. Just like in 2015-17.

2012-2017.

and that's just the years FM actually did make new music together. not the ones they just wanted to.

Difference being Christine returning in 2014. After 2015, after what we thought was the cycle for 24KG, the prospects of a new Fleetwood Mac album seemed more realistic.

Pretty much.

Neil and Mike are just as ready to make a Fleetwood Mac album as Lindsey was, only Mike seems more realistic about the chances of it actually happening. What pisses me off is Stevie telling Sheryl Crow that she had to keep making albums on Ellen.

I don't understand this. What are you saying here?

what exactly don't you understand?

Fleetwood Mac went into studio in 2012 and recorded a bunch of tracks that were waiting for Stevie's input. they put a sampling of those out in 2013 on EP. then they added more songs in 2014 when Christine came back. Stevie kept going back and forth in 2016 interviews whether she'll join in on the effort. then in 2017 she changed that to a firm no and taunting them to never release that - because according to her that's what you do when you have recorded tracks for a new album - you just shelve them. that covers a period from 2012-2017.

they were not just talking about some wishful thinking about some possible FM album. they recorded a bunch of tracks for that album. and they kept trying to woo and talk Stevie into it. Mick was working on this with Lindsey, Christine and the band too - until he decided to turn and just go with whatever Stevie wants. i guess maybe he got himself on the brink of another bankruptcy some time in 2017?

that's very different than some touring contractor talking about how he would have loved to work on an album with FM but it's not gonna happen.
