timing is right to put out 4/5 FM album and tour it!

this is interesting. she does exhibit negative energy towards FM a lot! this is really visible in some of her solo interviews (i think it was IYD screening or something?), she rolls her eyes when mentioning the band and portrays Fleetwood Mac as this stone around her neck dragging her down, that she has to go back to although she really doesn't want to (back one the chain gang? ). people say she's generally in much better mood and engaged at her solo gigs than at FM where half of the time she looks like she is just going through the motions and doesn't want to be there.

so it does look like it will be a win-win for both the band and for Stevie if she is not on this upcoming album.
