And, to me, the weird thing is LB poses as the one who seemingly could care a less if FM gets back together. He's left before and, according to them, he was the hold out for The Dance.
As for "burning bridges" - that statement just seems rude to me. Or at least he implies by using it that CM left on a bad note, which none of the others have ever implied. In fact, they say just the opposite. |

agreed. it suggests that she did something from which there can be no return. and that's something i find hard to believe since as you pointed out, the others have made no illusion to anything of the sort. if there was some implied slight on christine's part, i think lindsey might be exaggerating or blowing it out of proportion.

The things Lindsey has said (or been quoted as saying) sound to me like he's trying to hide the fact that he knows how much they miss her.
He says way too often that he has more freedom now. No one expected them to curl up in the corner and cry because she left. If they still wanted to go on then that's fine, that's their decision. I don't think I'd buy another album with this lineup and I doubt whether I'd go and see them live. But that's just my opinion. Gail |

The only possible negative comment about Chris leaving was when Chris herself mentioned in Mojo Magazine that the others were slightly miffed when she left. I always took that to mean that the others wanted to extend the Dance tour & she didn't. She cost them quite a bit of money. However, "slightly miffed" is pretty mild, in my opinion. I think the other three certainly respected her right to move on with the rest of her life.

That's exactly what I think the "burning bridges" comment means. I think he's either blowing something minor out of proportion or something really did happen between the two of them on the Dance tour. None of the other three have said anything remotely similar to this & Chris still has regular contact with Mick, John & Stevie.

Me too. I'll never make that mistake again after SYW, although I doubt they'll ever record another studio album anyway. I would definitely buy any older, previously unreleased re-issues(with Chris). As for live shows, I'm done. When Chris retired from touring, I retired from going to see them.

John - and Mick - have always said that there are some things in FM that, even with the voyeurism and openness of all the Rumours-era goings on, they can't talk about in public. Maybe something did go on that we don't know about? 'Burning bridges' is a strong analogy, but it's possible Lindsey just means that Chris sold everything she had in the US, got a divorce, stopped being in frequent contact with (most of) the others and then never came back.

I think La Nicks said it the best when she said, CM did exactly what she said she was going to do - she signed for the US tour and that was it. She then said something like she wasn't angry with CM and understood her decision and that she did not like the touring anymore, etc.
Again, it sort of amazes me that LB would be the angry one (if he is that) because he is the one that likes to portray himself as not needing or wanting to be part of the "big business" Mac. |

She has said that she tried to persuade her to stay but also said something like "sometimes you look into someone's eyes and you know they've made their decision and you have to say OK I release you" - that wasn't a direct quote but the "I release you" bit was accurate I believe. If Lindsey was angry it was probably because he doesn't like not getting his own way Gail |

The funny thing is before SYW was recorded, Stevie was quoted as saying that Chris couldn't just record, she'd have to do the whole thing...record & tour. It sounds like she's come around & realizes that a FM album is better with the complete line-up. I also think she genuinely missed Chris on SYW, both musically & personally. |
