i guess what i meant was that i don't really see touring as anything more than a money making venture at this point, so to me, the entirety of fleetwood mac as artists has to do with their studio work. i could care less if i see them in concert ever again. they do the same set list over and over, save for a the occasional "surprise" song, and that doesn't seem very creatively fluid to me. i don't see any difference between her having been on SYW but not touring and lindsey being on TITN and not touring (save for the fact that he pissed everyone off by not being up front about it from the beginning). so to me, and it's just my opinion, if you show up for the recording of the album and kick it out of the park, that is 100%.

well i would vote the same as you! i don't know if that's necessarily a minority position though. maybe we should do a poll.

Quite gracefully Stevie capitulated in front of the whole band and we gleefully layered her vocals into the mix of the album.

what is this from? i've never seen it before.
