Do it for the "fans"? *siiiigh*

She had nothing to contribute. It would have been all old stuff and that would’ve been known and In contrast to Chris and Lindsey who, IMO, had some
Of their best songs in decades. She has spun such a horrible tale about recording Say You Will and she simply has refused to record with Lindsey ever again. You could probably trace a ton of this back to that stupid Bob Dylan comment if we’re being honest. Sounds stupid but she’s been carrying a major grudge for over 20 years now with her varying stories of woah is me

The minute Stevie started complaining in an interview that the 2009 Fleetwood Mac tour was “benign” and “missing something” because her and Lindsey ::gasp:: didn’t have any conflicts….I knew then that she thrived on Fleetwood Mac / Lindsey drama. I immediately started questioning everything because when somebody feeds off drama like that, they will go to any end to create the drama if it’s not being provided for them.

Yep. Exactly. It was like she couldn’t understand how he just wanted to go out and put on a good show and not worry about rehashing their tired drama. Probably where Lindsey’s focus on his then young family and not on her nonsense really started to irk her.

I think she knows deep down inside that he and Christine both had something to offer, even in their final years of working together. BuckVie was widely well received by music fans, the press etc. Those two were still able to be working artists. Stevie is now a legacy act based upon her work from 20-30+ years ago and now she’s stuck with that legacy act schtick.

She’s apparently so embarrassed by her 80s solo work that she won’t even acknowledge her latest career spanning album box set. I guess it makes sense since she uses all her Fleetwood Mac songs to sell solo tickets.

Her solo show has basically become rehashing the same Bella Donna and Wild Heart songs with the occasional Trouble in Shangri-La tune tossed in. If I was to sit through a show I’d rather hear Rooms on Fire, I Can’t Wait, or Long Way to Go than tired versions of Gypsy, Sara, and Rhiannon.

most of her classic FM stuff that she does is early stuff and ALL of it arranged by Buckingham far, far better than she or anyone else could ever have done it (Landslide, Rhiannon, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Gypsy). As he said in an interview, any number of her hits could well and should have been listed as co-writes. And then things like how she wrote "where is the reason, don't blame it on me, blame it on my wild heart" to his track and chord progression and he should have been credited (who knows how many others). It's no different to how she wrote She Loves Him Still and had to list Mark Knopfler as co-writer. Prince should have been co-writer on Stand Back but her charm worked....
