At any rate, Christine's comments are consistent to things she's been saying for years and don't indicate to me that she's lathering anything on to put on a good front for press.

No, sure. There is consistency and I'm not saying this is particularly true in this case over others, though at times during the BBC interview I felt I was being hit over the head with certain ideas being put across... However, I don't see 'band members being out of synch' and 'a general overall message being presented' as mutually exclusive. In fact, I think sometimes that 'out of sync-ness' is blown out of proportion or emphasised AS PART of the message being presented. I also think you can be putting on a good front for press and be telling the truth at the same time by omitting certain things, and emphasising others by selecting certain events or things to focus on. Again, there aren't necessarily ulterior motives involved or a concerted effort to portray things a certain way; it's a natural thing to do.
