The Chain -- yet another brilliant Christine and Lindsey collaboration!

This is surely a journalistic error--not only is the story always that Mick is the one who took her into the parking lot to tell her, but it seems like asking for trouble for Lindsey to be the one to tell her.
I've always wondered though--why on earth did she need to be told in the carpark? Just how violent did she get with those tambourines in the studio confines?

Does it? Sorry- I still cant agree.
I recall there is a sizable thread about this subject somewhere.
If you haven't watched this Youtube clip- its worth a view;

(Its best to skip the first 2 minutes)
Also, I'd suggest it well worth listening to Stevie's original composition;

-I have no reason to believe this is anything other than a full Stevie composition as a demo (as opposed to her singing a mish-mash of hers and Lindsey's lyrics).
Clearly the bare bones of the actual song are Stevie's.
Clearly the original foundations and feel are set by the original Christine track.
Obviously John contributed the killer iconic bassline.
Lindsey played around, added bits, cut bits and put all the individual bits together.
Clearly Mick....er...drummed
