A beautiful tribute to Christine

A very fitting tribute

This is not really a tribute. It was a comic stand up bit from the 1990s.

Chris never worked as a hostess and never referred to herself as the "other girl" in Fleetwood Mac.
But it was good comedy in the 90s

I know Christine never worked at a restaurant after she left Fleetwood Mac. I saw this video when it first aired on Mad TV many many years ago. I thought it was a beautiful tribute to Christine then, when she was alive, and I think it’s just as fitting now that she has passed. Sandra was clearly a big fan of Christine and I thought her rendition of Songbird was beautiful and sincere. I think Christine would have found this amusing.

This was her tweet after the news came out.

Are you saying she did work at a restaurant at some point? Because I've never heard that.

Why TF would a multi millionaire do that?

Christine wasn’t always a millionaire. She worked as a window dresser in London before joining Chicken Shack. I don’t know if she had a job while she was in art school.

She did say she considered opening a small restaurant in her village, but realized that was more work than she wanted to do.

I'm not talking back in the old days... he said AFTER she left FM.

I think that’s really funny and fitting.
Christine would have loved the irony here, a millionaire working in a cafe.
Playing the piano and just the songs she wants to play.

So what Christine never worked in a cafe (though back in Birmingham early days, she may have had to)…..it’s comedy.

The English accent is pretty good too.
And her voice is amazing.

Did you watch the video?
Its a stand up comedy sketch from a very long time ago that talks of a fictitious meeting of Chris in a restaurant. Chris is a hostess and talks about her being the other woman in Fleetwood Mac. Its a very old sketch first discussed here in 2012 when old clips were being uploaded to Youtube. I remember seeing it in the 1990s.

This is an oldie, but a goodie. Her tweet is heartwarming, too.
