tensions in FM - still creative or not anymore?

[LB Freakazoid]

Wow... I'm kinda surprised at what's been said here...

Stevie is rather consistant - she has always said that she brings everything she writes to FM - if they reject it, it's hers.... hence all the demos we're getting on this new album.....

She has ALWAYS said that FM is her first priority. Yes, Christine coming back has thrown a huge kink in the plans that may have been set... However, the band now has to alter them.
Stevie had previous commitments for another album - prior to Chris's decision... Contractully, she had to do her album - and what better time than to do it with all the publicity of the FM reunion? She's gotta get it out of the way to clear the time for this huge thing that's called "Fleetwood Mac" The last hoorah!

....and with LB and CM in the studio at the same time as recording in Nashville, wouldn't make sense that there would be discussions about what songs FM wanted? Regardless of whatever influences, Stevie's loyalties always remains with FM, especialty with Christine there. Say what you will, that has always been a constant. And, for her NOT to be a part of any "new" music would seem completely out of character at this stage. (And don't beat me with the TITN times - coming out of rehab does not compare to where she is now) i kinda think this was a HUGE conflict within herself - however, the rest of the band understood and they are making the best out of what they have to deal with...

Timing, I'm sure, was NOT what the rest of FM may have wanted... However, I'm kinda of thinking that they are happy CM is back. And being an LB fan, I'm thinking his brain is is humming with music.....
