The only thing this article promoted was Stevie's rock status as a cultural icon. There was very little serious discussion regarding her new album. It's indirect musical promotion at best.

She had this opportunity to promote her new album. So what does she do? She gives us a bare-bones performance of a 33-year old Fleetwood Mac song. Is this kind of promotion doing her any commercial favors? Relying heavily on past artistic achievements seems to take precedent over establishing new ones. Fleetwood Mac is doing that now. Why not? Milking the legacy of their cash cow is easy. They need very little promotion to do that.
