I don't think they NEED to talk to each other in the press, but I think they do.

When Lindsey told the press that Stevie never said thank you to him for SYW, I think that was 100% for her benefit. I think Mick's Playboy interview was targeted at Stevie, to put pressure on her to sign on for FM in 2013, sooner rather than later, and I bet you anything it succeeded.

When Lindsey was talking to the press about Sheryl Crow, I think he was doing it to put Sheryl in her place more than as a message to Stevie, but I am positive that Stevie saw all of his comments and devoutly wished that he would shut up. I think Lindsey said that because he DID read what Mick and Stevie were saying about Sheryl wanting time off for Mother's Day and he wanted to put a truer version of what happened out there. I think he did it in response to them.

He doesn't think they'll read his interviews, but he thinks that someone they associate with will read them and tell them what he said. I don't think he thinks that Christine hasn't heard his 30% more room, when she burned her bridges spiel.

When Stevie said she would walk out so fast that the palm trees would hit Lindsey on the head, I sure don't think she was saying it because she wanted fans to believe they were feuding. She had fun playing those games with Dave's Platinum Weird, but I don't think she and Lindsey are doing it in real life to keep the interest in FM heated up. There are only a handful of people who care about that kind of nonsense anyway and they are all probably right here on the board.
