what could be Christine's next move?

if he wants both Big Machine and Small Machine, and he wants Big Machine to be at least marginally, tiny bit, relevant, he should be lobbying for Christine to come part-time back.

Lindsey's not as smart as we are.

For someone with such philosophical ramblings, he sure isn't as smart as he sounds. And even then...

It's true. I do think Lindsey really likes this BN tour that's going on under the FM banner.

So, that's 1 thing he wants and the other thing he wants is an FM album. He could have both, if Chris was part time.

Which is why he really needs to butter Christine up more than ever. Cut the crap and just tell her.

He likes to tell himself that they don't need her. He's delusional!

And even if she did decide she was the "come and go" type and wanted to join the tour in London, no big deal. I bet if they promoted her appearance and promised that some of her songs would be played (including Everywhere) that they could sell one extra night at the O2 in London (and Dublin too maybe, if she was willing to take the ferry or whatever).

The extra shows would more than make up for any inconvenience of changing the show to accommodate her brief appearances. Also, they could do a DVD including her and that would bring in some money.

Then, when they aren't near her home location, they could continue the tour without her and pocket all that money 4 ways.

Believe me, if we knew Christine would be there and that they were going to temporarily change the setlist to accommodate her, a lot of non-European fans would make the trip.

They are throwing money away not getting everything from Christine that she is willing to give them, even it means settling for less than they want.
