Of course an album won't generate $25 million in sales, much less $40 million, so touring is always more lucrative. However, it does not mean that they cannot make a profit with a new album, and a new album always leads to a tour. I don't know how much money Stevie made or lost on IYD, but I guarantee you she sold some extra tickets and was able to book her own headlining tour because of that album. Without IYD, Stevie would have been relegated to only casino shows and Heart and Soul.

Ugh, I would be overjoyed if they dropped their label! Honestly, I would think Lindsey would love that! Big labels get in the way... Indie labels have proven themselves imo. Think about comedians like Louis CK and Jim Gaffigan who sell their shows on their own websites! More profit.

Also, everyone keeps talking about how recording with FM is so full of strife. Still? I mean yeah, will there be disagreements, even arguments? Probably, yes, because it's a band with eight different minds (4 members and their agents). However, wouldn't you think after almost 40 years they would be better than ever in terms of the personal difficulties in studio? I mean, they always talk about how they wouldn't take their personal problems into the studio during Rumours because they knew that their music was greater than each of them individually. Based on LB and SN's recent work, as many of you mentioned, I think FM could come out with something pretty amazing!

Finally, while I don't think SYW is their strongest album, I still think it's pretty darn good! I also think it's better than TITN *gasp* It isn't like anything else they've recorded really. It sounds very early 2000s, so I wouldn't expect another album to sound like that. But, I don't hold it against them for sounding like the times, that's why they are still around!

That's what you'd think. And that's what I thought, at least until Stevie's recent Q&A's and what people have said about the documentary.

I'll be ecstatic if we get the 2 or 4 songs that Stevie mentioned on another Greatist Hits album. Even if that means I have to buy another Greatest Hits album.

Totally agree. Honestly, Stevie was quits with FM probably the case as of Tango In The Night, if not Mirage. Stevie need feel no guilt about cutting Mick loose, if she really wants to. None.

Haha yes, or if you have an iPod you can always just buy the few new songs! But I'd buy a whole new Greatest Hits album if I had to hehe. I hate to see untapped potential, maybe not go to waste but, redirected into other projects just because they want to avoid conflict

you'd think these people would grow up by the time they are in their 60s, right?

I'm pretty sure Fleetwood Mac isn't signed with any label at this point. Their catalogue is with WB.

Exactly, Mick was a total ass to her earlier this year with his comments about how The Mac was over because Stevie wouldn't end her promotion of IYD's. He just wanted her to drop everything in her personal life because his marriage was in the crapper. Now that his marriage seems to be back on track and his resteraunt is open and he will make millions, nevermind that his "bestfriend/soulmate" was having the time of her life....its really all about how much money she was screwing him out of....

Stevie stayed long after Mr. Buckingham left them weeks before a booked world tour, after milking the free press of videos made for TITN... Not that Stevie wasn't just as screwed up as he was...

All that aside, Stevie has payed her debts to The Mac.

As for the "Stevie needs to move on Lindsey has drama" we have no idea what is said between those two when the cameras are off and the lights are down: I think two of her songs may explain some of that. "Fall From Grace" & "You May Be The One". Ofcoarse I only speculate .....

One of the things I admire about Stevie the most is that she has created a fantasy world for herself and through her hard work, raw talent, luck and determination she made that dream a reality....who wouldn't want that if you could???

I would love nothing more for the four of them to come together and have a great tour and enjoy each other and create something beautiful and be the new "best year" of all their lives.

Poor John .... all he wants is to be pointed to the stage..

" of their life....but I justdon't

What? I didn't notice a skirt. She seems to be wearing a tunic with a draped cowl neck and then tights underneath. I think that's really cute. You know, the way the tunic cups over the hips makes them seem smaller. So, with that wider part hidden, you have the tights coming up and I think it's really flattering to the shape.

I have felt since The Dance that Stevie and LB have been laughing under their breath concerning this "mock" turmoil between them...they know that it keeps us and the press interested...It's a part they both play....Any partnership has its ups and downs and LB producing Stevies music might get dicey but I'm certain they are laughing all the way to the bank.
