Sure the money must have helped too, but I just can't imagine Mick saying "no" to anything involving Fleetwood Mac. Hopefully they will get together and rediscover their chemistry. Stevie will then play them some of the rough mixes of her new album and then a bowled-over Mick will take her aside and ask her to offer a few of those songs for the next Fleetwood Mac album. Lindsey will respond by playing some demos he's been working on and... voila... a new Fleetwood Mac album is born. Ha!

That'd really be wonderful if Stevie shared her new album with the band, and it sparked serious talks of a new Mac record!! Who knows, it's certainly possible... Stevie seems to be on a high right now with her new music. I know she was discouraged for several years following SYW regarding recording new material. I still think her dissatisfaction with SYW will drive her to record at least one more Mac album. I doubt she'll want that the be the Mac's final legacy.

I would have to think Lindsey's been noodling around with new material, too... but he's been very quiet about recording since Gift Of Screws. Yes, he said all during the Unleashed tour that the Mac doesn't have a new album... yet. But we haven't really heard first hand from him if he's been recording any new music for himself or otherwise.

And no doubt you're right about Mick and John. Of any of the Rumours kids, those guys simply just love playing and being in a band. I think the rest is just details for them.
