I think he knows he was a sh*t for a long time and would like to heal that to the extent they can. Age has a way of mellowing everyone and they've known each other for a long time. But if there wasn't still money to be made in FMac I just don't think he'd be in touch with most of them that much. I agree Mick and John would continue to be friendly. I saw an interview with Christine recently promoting her solo album and she said yes she thinks about her former bandmates and misses them, but most especially Mick and John since they go back so far. I think the same is true with Stevie and Lindsey, knowing each other since they were teens.

But never underestimate the power of money.

What you said. I believe money is 90% of the reason Lindsey and Stevie are doing it. If FM were just an oldies act( they are, but at least they're a popular oldies act), and very little money was to be had, neither would be involved.
