By all accounts since, the book was little more than a distraction/annoyance to everybody.

It has since been well documented that the death of Christine's father is what made her decide to retire from the road. Stevie, who apparently was already feeling uneasy about being in the band without Lindsey, didn't want to be the sole singer/songwriter from the "Rumours" band still fronting the band at shows. The initial plan was that the girls would still record with the band, but the men of the Mac would tour without them. However, Rick Vito quit the band, and then Stevie. Rick has never really given his reason for leaving the band. Stevie, OTOH, stated that it was a dispute over "Silver Springs" that did it for her.

I don't think Christine had any real issue with Mick or John at the time, and even played the Super Bowl pre-game show a few weeks after the Clinton thing. The only time she really expressed any displeasure with the band was after Dave Mason was brought on board, and even then she did the "Time" album.
