Christine McVie a "professional groupie"? Hardly.

A groupie is an insulting term for a young woman who hangs around the music scene because she wants to date the musicians, not because she's a musician herself.

Christine not only was a musician herself, she was a pioneering musician; one of the first women to not only sing in a band, but to write her own songs AND play an instrument. She was NOT a groupie, and this phrase is both demeaning to Christine and completely inaccurate.
