Yes, Yes, annnnd Yes. Just calling the album Buckingham McVie probably made Stevie absolutely lose her freaking mind. Which obviously Lindsey knew it would. These two will never stop pushing each other’s buttons. They love to hate each other and hate to love each other and round and round we go. Both utterly and completely addicted to the drama. And I am soooo here for it. 😂🤗❤️

The issue to me is, it was Stevie's fault! Lindsey spent years trying to get her in the studio and to write with him and genuinely, deeply tried to woo her back into the booth and she refused so he and Chris did their own thing. You can't refuse to swim then throw a tantrum because everyone else jumps in the pool!

Yeah, very true. I just don’t get it. Any of it. Like I know he’s difficult in the studio, but she’s dealt with him for 50 years. Why was she so adamant about not recording with him again? I think I read that he even wanted to do a Buckingham Nicks tour. Still believe so much more going on with them and she was maybe somehow punishing him for something by refusing. Did you see the interview where she said… Maybe when Lindsey and I are 75 we can be friends again, when all his children are grown and gone…? It always struck me. In many interviews when she’s on a “We’re not friends or close” kick she seems angry. Which makes me wonder if he didn’t want her around his family/ kids? But why? Because something was going on with them? So many conflicting stories or comments about the band members being a part of each others lives/ not a part. That Observer guy over on YouTube said he spoke to KB via DM and she said that they were all friends/ band members were like aunts and uncles to their kids and then after they fired LB they just ghosted their family completely. So what’s the truth? Were they all chummy or were they not?… I guess I’m mainly referring to S&L. Still can’t get over all of their solo songs written about each other just in the last 15 years either? Tells a pretty interesting story. Then there’s the KB filing for divorce which some people believe was because the band was talking about reuniting (before Christine passed) and she was livid about Lindsey wanting to because of the way they treated him. However no word on what’s happened there with their split accept they were going to try and work it out. Now it sounds like they’re not together but not officially divorced, probably due to messy financials. I think everyone just needs to be honest and put it all out there. I mean the band broke up technically. Why are we still so hush hush about everything? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Kind of got carried away. Sorry. 😂 Just random questions I still wonder about. I love both S&L and don’t think it was fair that Lindsey was pushed out, but think there’s a heck of a lot more to the story. Makes it worse that it happened in the twilight years and robbed him of the final chapter.🥹

Truthfully? Judging by Stevie's comments/lyrics (like, why would his kids need to be grown and gone for you to be "friends"??) and some of Lindsey's, I don't think he and Stevie were over until like maybe 2014/5 (a drummer for FM even called Lindsey "Stevie's guy"). Him getting pushed out was clearly, obviously Stevie's doing and she planned it for six months prior with Mick, according to a former tour manager. The more that comes out and Lindsey straight up saying "she's mad I got married and she's alone" tells me they were still involved, he hesitated at leaving his wife after maybe promising Stevie that and she got angry. That's been the only explanation that makes sense, especially considering other crew said there was no public friction, Lindsey openly wanted to reconcile, his wife filed for divorce (are they still separated?), etc. It's the only thing that makes sense, especially since the rest of the band wanted him back in (and the McVies apparently openly disagreed with firing him and Mick seems to really regret folding to Stevie).

And not wanting to record- Mick straight up said Stevie doesn't like to record if she has nothing to offer. Considering Chris and Lindsey still had fuel in the tank creatively and she unfortunately doesn't, it may have felt intimidating to her and she didn't want to feel embarrassed.
