The opportunity to sing backup onstage for A MUSICAL LEGEND like Bob Dylan comes once in a lifetime.

HMMMM.....sitting in a LA STUDIO with Lindsey running vocals on the same tired track for the 83rd time---or playing tambourine and hanging with Dylan in Australia.....I too would choose the latter.

Its looking at the glass half full or half empty. I would think she wanted to be a creative member of Fleetwood Mac. That takes working together with the band. But its clear during this time Nicks stayed away from her family and the Mac because of her personal issues. It would be an honor to sing a song with Dylan but priorities first...your solo career tour practice and band studio album shelved for this honor? I think it was more about the party. If she went on tour with them to sing back up then why was she not allowed to perform on stage. It was an impromptu act which is cool and memorable though. Wasn't it Tom Petty's wife who put down her foot for him not going to Australia with Dylan because of the drug use. I think Stevie came in to talk to his wife to assure her that she would watch over him. Yeah ok...Stevie watching over someone to not get too crazy
CHOICES !
