Stevie's New Year's Resolution

From the band's standpoint - the couple of songs could help promote their tour, which is the big cash cow.

guess that would make a lot of sense - IF they have a record company (for stuff that is not their old catalog).

from an interview more than a year ago:

Fleetwood Mac is also a free agent after more than 40 years at Warner Bros., Buckingham said. The Anglo-American rock icons last released an album in 2003 and were the ninth biggest touring act in 2009 with U.S. ticket sales of $55 million, according to Pollstar.

Buckingham, 61, said Fleetwood Mac will continue to tour and record."

again, this new interview is putting words into Stevie's mouth / assuming something she didn't say. she is probably talking about band's management (whatever that may be these days now with Azoff exiting LN - may be even more complicated and fragmented than it used to be if Stevie's management is still with frontline).
