Okay, I agree, but I just needed the opinions of others before canceling the fourth firefly, indefinitely!

So then that makes only three 'Fireflies' left to 'Then Play On'!

At the risk of being accused of being a 'Shipper', I hope they can, at least, say 'Goodbye Baby' together one last time, if they choose to that is.

'That's Alright'!

Have a good day, everyone!

Unless you've spoken with John, I don't think you can speak for him.

I think at the time mick actually laughed when he was asked that and said, 'Because he's scots-irish' or something like that..i guess implying john was too cheap to go/not happy with what he'd make in terms of $? idk, are scottish people cheap? lol john does have that reputation, though, to be fair.

Okay, I'll bite! Exactly, that's why I said that to you! I think I'm feeling like another member talking about 'Circles', because I'm getting dizzy and feeling this subject is going 'Over And Over', (and....over..!) Have a good day!

When Guided by Voices reunited, it was mainly for one show. However, learning the 50 or so songs and getting out to Las Vegas for one show didn’t make a lot of sense. So, it became a reunion tour that led to a new chapter of new music.

Point being, the Peter Green gig would have been a lot of work and expense for one show, especially when he was ready to be done.

John said that he couldn’t do another big tour after the 2014-15 tour, but still found a way back for one last hurrah/$h!t$how and then sold off most of his equipment in a joint auction with Christine and Mick. Christine has since left us and Julie has passed on. John is almost 79. The auction was his farewell.

Furthermore, Lindsey hasn’t made a new album in over seven years. He even said he didn’t do any recording during the pandemic. I’d be surprised if he’s not done. I want to be diplomatic, but the undiplomatic way to say it is that his heart isn’t in it, anymore.

His self-titled album was released in June 2021.

I never read or seen any Mick's interview telling why John wasn't there. Is there any?

I said “Lindsey hasn’t made a new album in over seven years.” The 2021 album was finished before Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie was released.

You are more than welcome to your opinion, and nothing wrong with speculating what NOBODY knows.

They can jump up and down and force their opinions down our collective throats, but they are just hypothesizing based on God knows what. (as Lindsey would say)

Personally, I hope they never take stage again, in any form, other than solo. I would feel like it was a nostalgia or money/attention grab.

I do like Mick doing a solo album. I think it took balls for him to put together something in this music climate. Then Play on!!

Remember in that recent interview where Stevie suggested Lindsey had poor health, she said her focus is her new album and also putting FM songs in her solo concerts (specifically The Chain). She hasn't added FM songs to her set, only removed Sara from this current tour's setlist. I think she wants to get one more album out considering her last one did not sell for a name like hers.

Stevie's hit every major market since May 2022 and she didn't do double or multiple nights at The Garden or The ACC like FM does. I wonder how much more touring arenas she can do at the prices she's charging.

Friend of mine that follows her religiously says her shows are so boring and the same. And, that she says it looks as if she doesn't even enjoy being up there.

So, you never know. They need their drama.

I think that's precisely why she WON'T do another album.

It's actually kind of AMAZING that she's as popular as she is. When was her last hit? Talk To Me? 1985. 39 YEARS AGO?

Yeah she seems to get real bitter when her projects don't sell at the Taylor Swift levels that she seems to expect (because she's a legend!)

She's prioritized touring over studio work for a reason. According to her, she didn't even write during the pandemic. I doubt there is an appetite for an album when she can get cheap adulation going on the road.
