If this is the case, I totally understand her not wanting to invest in something like that, especially of you're miserable doing it. I wish the interviewer asked her if she felt the same about her solo recording, just to be clear.

She is a multi, multi, millionaire. Why the hell should she ever contemplate the cost of recording. Indeed, why should she ever think of money...ever? Unbelievable

I don't know what her personal money situation is. But let's say you're right - that she's a multi,multi millionaire. If you yourself were a multi-millionaire, would you spend your money and time doing something you don't find happiness in?

Lol well she's never really had a problem badmouthing Lindsey and she literally did say in an interview sometime from around before the BM album got announced that they have such different tastes it makes getting back in the studio very hard as well as other things. She's probably still bitter about Say You Will.

I'm a Stevie fan just as much as I am a FM fan but it's not hard for me to pull my head out of her ass and just accept that she's being difficult and not willing to compromise like a normal band member and that she probably does care a lot more about sales than you'd think. She was probably very disappointed that IYD and 24 K didn't sell as well as she wanted.

the only thing she seems to take happiness in is making more money.

Exactly, She has no problem joining them for the huge pay off tour.

Sure didn't seem like that last Thursday night during and after her San Diego show. Money's important to everyone, but to say that's all she's about... c'mon.

The word is transparent.

If she really took a lot of happiness in actually creating like an artist then she'd suck it up and do her job and record with her band. And if she doesn't want to compromise as a bandmember then fine, then she'd go and actually create a new solo album. And not a bunch of old demos tweaked up and recorded. But no, instead she's touring an over 2 year old album of a bunch of decades old songs and rerecording Gypsy and singing with Tom Petty. It doesn't really look like she's got a desire to actually create something.

STEVEHEDRICK · #**519** 03-10-2017, 05:55 PM

But at her age, she has do do what she feels like, I would!

Why is there such an issue with recording old demos? Why does it matter?

"I don't understand their premise"....huh? I thought their "premise" was to make new music for the love of making new music, because that is what creative, relevant songwriters do.

Some parts of the interview were fun and funny--as per usual. But overall she sounds cynical and unhappy.

And the whole Klonopin story is now becoming a bit crazy. She's using it--and the quack doctor who urged her to take it--as a catch-all excuse for why her career did not go the way she wanted it to. Years of her life were taken away: I can believe that. But now she's spending years of her life bitching openly about it. That won't undo the damage.

It begs the question of, "Why are you in Fleetwood Mac?"

And in my opinion the answer is: money, prestige, power... certainly not for fans like me that would love to see her record with the band and write music together...

Because it's so lazy. Why not create something new? You're an artist after all. It's like if I turn in an old drawing for an art class assignment because I couldn't be bothered to actually do something. And it suggests that her creativity is at a dead end.

Well, I guess I just disagree. IMO, poetry doesn't have an expiration date.

and if you take her out of the touring band they wont be able to charge the big ticket price or play the big halls, I dont even care if they tour or record again, going to see her solo is fine by me
