If he wasn't bitter when Christine left, I don't think he would have made some of the comments that he did. And I interpreted his comments the same way I interpreted hers about him after he left. It doesn't even matter if they felt the comments are true or not. My point is, they wouldn't say them if they weren't a bit angry, even if they'd always believed them secretly. Both Christine and Lindsey seemed to exhibit "sour grapes" behavior in the wake of the other's departure. It's like Stevie saying that she and Lindsey let it all out in 1987, everything they'd held back in case they might get back together was thrown out in the big fight. I think jabs were made when Christine left that said to me that he wasn't as happy to have 30% more room as he kept saying he was. Plus, I think the vibe felt like even Stevie was a little miffed at Christine for awhile. There was a petulance, 'well, if that's what Christine wants, that's what she gets'. A sense that everyone felt a little rejected. Michele |

Rejected, or miffed at the lost business opportunities? I suspect a bit of both.

By 2003 they were still planning a big tour and I don't think any promoter told them they would get less money because of Christine's absence. So, no I don't think they were worried about the loss revenue so much. I think they just couldn't believe she would stay away from them and that her wanting out wasn't a passing phase. I think it was more personal than monetary. Michele |

However, that Billy Burnette was on ITM only strengthens the argument that Christine wasn't as upset about the band's personnel choices as she was just sick of touring. Stevie and Lindsey shouldn't flatter themselves so much, and Mick and John should have known better

That made me laugh. I believe on most peoples list of believability Stevie and Mick would be at the bottom. |

They're both drama queens, and live in a fantasy world.

Now, we'll have to wait and see where Lindsey spends Stand Back. Will he be making audience contact or will he be perched next to Christine?
Won't it be wonderful to have Christine on the floor again for Tusk? I don't like World Turning that much, but Mick needs a drum solo and I guess it will be nice to have Christine singing her half of that. She'll probably sing on I'm So Afraid again too. Michele |

By all accounts, she got on well with them, and she's pals with Billy. I was just saying Lindsey and Stevie being gone didn't affect her decision to hang it up (if anything, Christine's decision affected Stevie's decision to quit). That decision had already been made independently of personnel changes. There was an opportunity in 1997 to go out on top, and she chose that, giving us a real gift.
Luckily for us, she decided that retirement sucks.

Although I've always found the desire in fandoms to combine derivatives of couples' names to be bizarre. When did that start? With "Brangelina"? |

Michele[/QUOTE] I doubt it. Christine probably only sang on this because Stevie was off stage for an outfit change. Stevie sang on the studio track and it sounds much better with her backing up Lindsey. |
