Christine has gone from completely forcing herself off the face of the earth, to being the band's biggest cheerleader (taking the crown from Mick) and as the band's oldest member,she's the first to use social media directly and actually engage fans thru it.

And this whole thread caused me to have a bit of a revelation about maybe what's driving Stevie's lack of enthusiasm and commitment. Does anyone think it's possible that Stevie is feeling like the oldest in the band and it's bothering her? Now this 100 percent how I feel and just the part of me that enjoys analyzing people.

In old pictures and videos from the 70's and early 80's stevie very noticeably more youthful looking and acting then the rest of the band. Signaling out just the girls, She just gives off this little sister vibe and Chris just seems like the wiser, more mature big sister. Stevie even described herself as the baby egg of the band.

Fast forward to today and Stevie is very much grandma in the band. Wants no part in that dang flab it technology and the other members of the band, 3 of which are older then her must walk across the stage at times. Mick, who is as grey and wrinkled as it gets, still remains in my eyes the bands most youthful and lindsey clearly has no trouble running across the stage still. But now having Christine in the mix, to me at least makes Stevie's grandma vibe so much more noticeable.

Mick, Chris and Lindsey are currently the bands most youthful members, while John and Stevie are the elders it seems. But johns thing has always been, stand still, say nothing so it's nothing new to him. But for Stevie that has to be a very difficult thing for her.

Again I don't feel this should be an issue, but knowing how much stevie cares about her image and how she is perceived, I can absolutely see these thoughs going through her head. And if so, I'm sure she feels way more comfortable solo where there aren't 3 other band members to be compared against.
