If Chris participated in new Mac album I wouldn't be thrilled unless she had her trademark 4 songs or more. At this stage, all the writers have a lot to bring and I would hate to see the potential for 10-12 Christine songs (a solo album) stifled by minimized band participation. She'd have to return as a full member on record.

I don't think he liked having to put out his Bleed to Love Her and Steal Your Heart Away again for SYW, but they were there to fill in for Christine, just like the title song was. he still had to "re-calibrate his approach" for Christine, even when she was not around, because he had to make sure that the album lived up to the pop sound the world expected from FM. If Christine herself is there, filling that niche, he can concentrate on other types of music that are more true to his own sense of creativity. I really don't think it's a big deal for Lindsey to have Christine on an album. I think he minded not having her there for SYW. If he misses anything about just being a quartet, I think it would happen on stage, not on record, because he'd be performing fewer of his songs. Overall, I think he's always been puzzled and even resentful of the way Christine cut off her ties and left the band so entirely. He even gave an interview this year where the interviewer said he sounded surprisingly agitated about that, about no one knowing why she had to sever things quite as much as she did. I think he'd like her back on a full album. I would also think he wouldn't want her on a tour and they could continue to be BN on stage and FM (all 5) on record, but it seems like he wants her to tour too, if she is going to record. Michele |

But like you said, it wouldn't have to be an exhaustive world tour. Just play a sufficient number of dates and GIVE US A GOOD DVD. Michele |

Having said that, I'll take another solo album if that's what she wants to do.

How I see it happening is that she does the solo thing first while the rest of the band are probably taking a break from this year's tour (assuming that she has a good number of finished tracks by the end of this year), then she goes along and starts doing the new FM album. She's softening up her stance with touring as of late, so maybe, just maybe, she'll do it.

well, they'd have to wait at least THREE YEARS before touring again because "that's what we do". I'm sure though that all the accountants and whatnot have it worked out just how many dates and seats they have to sell to break even-- pay everyone's guarantees, the private jets, hotels, salaries of all the employees, trucks, security guards, etc etc etc that they 'need' when they tour, let alone make a profit. It could well be that that size of a tour would be more than Chris would want (or has wanted anyway). Maybe the future will see she's up for it all again. As for her complaining about touring (someone else posted about that) being away from home for a year or more I can see certainly being unappealing especially after having done it for decades. And FM and other bands have talked about how tedious and frankly boring it can be a lot of the time on the road. I just watched a Nirvana documentary where they talked about the grind of the road and every single day the jet lag and the never-ending interviews and obligations and never getting just a day, a lousy day, to sleep in and then do whatever the hell you want for a couple of hours. So I can see where Chris would just have had enough. |

and let's remember that Chris didn't seem all the thrilled with all the touring back before Stevie and Lindsey joined... the lyrics of Homeward Bound lay it out pretty clearly.
I want to sit at home in my rocking chair I don't wanna travel the world As far as I'm concerned I've had my share Time's more precious than gold I don't wanna see another aeroplane seat Or another hotel room Home life to me seems really neat I just wanna run back for good. Buy me a ticket homeward bound..... It all seems the same when you've done it before There's no difference in the style There's no better sight than my own front door I'll be a stay-at-home for awhile And this was 1972. Now I grant you, the style in which they toured after Rumours was a helluva lot nicer than how they toured in 1972, but.... this just doesn't seem like a woman who loves the road. |

Let's also not forget that she no longer drinks. The booze certainly takes the edge off of things. Without her coping mechanism on hand, she would've ended up in the mental asylum after a tour that long.
