Here she talks about her disdain of material culture/focus on success, bands who become so successful they ride in separate limos to different hotels, how solo acts suck, her dislike of bands that don't keep creating, overly polished music like Fleetwood Mac, her dislike of arena tours, etc. All of it seems squarely aimed at the likes of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac  . It really begs the question as to how Chrissie got roped into an arena tour with Stevie. |
and Chrissie managed to fit in kids and a relationship and not lose her career where Stevie always says you can't do both. Clearly you can. And so many women since have managed it-- look at Adele for a really recent one. Or Beyonce. Faith Hill. Madonna for pete's sake. Very very different chicks indeed.
Funny Chrissie says in that first interview she likes playing clubs/theaters and never wanted to play bigger places and still doesn't. oh well.
