I had not seen this article and thank you for posting, because I had been wanting to know how Ruby was doing. He says that she is totally ok now. I wondered if she had suffered any brain damage. It's a relief to think she didn't. He said he encourages everyone to learn CPR. I wonder if he knows it. If he doesn't after making that comment, I think his pony tail should be snipped.

I suspect the last thing Christine wants, is a bunch of dirty musicians, and Mick (that's a drummer joke) in her house!

And I'll bet anyone $50, that Mick doesn't know CPR.

Question: What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
Answer: A drummer

There was talk that Mick and his band would be staying at Christine's when they played Canterbury.

I said at the time she'd better get some rules in place:

No girls or alcohol in their rooms
Cash in advance (it is Mick Fleetwood we're talking about here)

Perhaps the rules were too much for Mick and lunch was as far as it went. I wonder if she paid

She did go to the concert and Mick gave her a mention as far as I know but not by name - "You know who you are"

How do you know when there's a drummer at your door?

You can smell the pizza!

I see Gail, that you have the exact same opinion of Mick, as I! While I'm sure he's a nice guy, Einstein he ain't! Let's call him, a master of poor life choices!

Hey, for all of Mick's ruinous love affairs and poor personal money management issues, he did effectively manage the world's most famous band for 5-6 years, while playing great drums on stage, while expertly manipulating members of the band to join, re-join, and commit to rigorous tours even if they weren't initially game. That says a lot for him. I also think Christine adores him as a true friend. She has never made any other comments to the contrary.

I'm sure Christine does adore him - they have been through a lot together.

Mick is the single reason why FM has kept going for so long. While Mick is still breathing there will be a FM. Sometimes I think he almost wants it too much and will do whatever it takes to get an FM album out even if that probably wasn't the right decision

Certainly, everyone in the band loves Mick.

He's mercenary. He's manipulative, but he's also a loyal and loving person. He's kept FM going and he is the one who makes it a point to keep up with past band members. Only Mick would form the MFBB, get Rick Vito to join as lead and travel around the world playing music from FM's very beginnings.

Christine said that there's not a day that goes by when she doesn't think of Mick and John and when she talks of him losing his money and sleeping on an old mattress on the floor of someone's basement, I think that memory of him hurt her very much. His pain was hers.

I think the bit when he collected her from the piano after Songbird and they kissed was very genuine and representative of their enduring affection.

Can anybody post the pic,

The link doesn't work now :-(

I just found the real photographs but I have to sign up to Rexfeatures to get the full sizes. They're tiny, but for now, it's the best I can do.

Anyone have a Rex account?

No need now. When I want something, I get it.

These are great to have Buttercookie. They are better than the magazine shots. Thanks for finding them.

You're very welcome

I did notice only the one dog lead, though :/

You rock, BC!

Color definitely looks much better than B&W, which has a tendency to exaggerate any flaws. From what I can tell, it looks like Christine could still clean up quite nicely if she wanted to. Thankfully she isn't walking around with a cigarette dangling from her free hand!

As for the leash, I think the answer is: the dog.
