Their meal ticket had been collected years earlier and they both needed each other equally to come back into the spotlight. That's my opinion, take it or leave it.

They both needed a kick in the ass in '96. They knew that a FM Reunion would do that. However, if one showed and the other did not, it would have flopped. A collaboration between those two was definately needed. No question about it.

If the Reunion would have never happened...Lindsey would just have hibernated in the studio and Stevie would be playing in Vegas....oh, wait.
