That must have been disappointing, to rejoin only to realize things were not any better since ‘97 - if anything worse.

She absolutely did rob them of that opportunity. John and chris had their fences mended from before they even signed their divorce papers, and stayed extremely close over the years with a friendship and a love that nobody paid any attention to because they didn't do anything performative, like a staged tusk dance, which surely would have meant true love.

Chris was thrilled to bits to come back, but not at all thrilled to realize she had not missed much in terms of the dynamics of those cranky Americans, which i think was far worse when she came back than it was in 97. But all of that aside, the rhythm section should have been allowed (like they needed f&^*ing permission??) to go on that tour with Chris and LB, and have a blast with just the four of them without all that stress and drama.

If Stevie was pissed about the attention given to Chris and Lindsey working together, it was her own damn fault. She punished them all because she couldn't come up with any decent new material to contribute?? or because Lindsey actually enjoyed working with Chris?? Her childish and diva behavior cost them a lot, and you're right that she prob planned even then to pull a "power move" down the road, just because she could. ugh it all irritates me.
