It's ironic, but the band is playing in New Orleans tonight, the city where Chris made her debut with Fleetwood Mac, but I could care less. I didn't see the tour this time out (which kills me because John McVie's playing kills me a little more -in a good way- every time I see him). It's just not the same without her there, and I don't give a crap about the whole Stevie/Lindsey drama BS.

I'm glad I got to at least see her twice before she stopped touring, and I'm glad she's happy. But damnit, part of me is a selfish prick!

I'm sober but I wholeheartedly agree. I will be going to see them on this tour, and went to see them in 2003, but it annoys the hell out of me that I never got to see them live as a five-piece.
