And, it didn’t work without her. In sixteen years, they made exactly one album and an EP. By the end of this year, they will have done more shows since her return than they did in the decade between SYW and her return. Quote:

Okay, so you’re saying that if a few members of a band find themselves at personal or creative odds with another member of the band, they aren’t allowed to fire that member and have to suffer for the rest of their time together?

They're so pathetic as the people that are justifying their actions. Why is it so hard to understand that this was all a Stevie's whim? Clearly Stevie's hate towards Lindsey was much, much more than many of us believed it was. This is her revenge after 40 years of writing in all those journals she has all the "bad things" he had done to her. Because she was a saint. I was a bit more relieved after Christine's mail. And it proved that his firing WAS NOT a group decision and that she didn't have any problem with Lindsey, as many here want to believe. I really hope they can work again with Lindsey. Because they make great music together. And just to get back at Stevie.

there are no "few members" here. just one. who has been in creative odds with the band for 15 years now, and at personal odds with her ex for 40+ years. so yeah she should have been fired. instead they continue to suffer, from what we hear even worse now without Lindsey to take the brunt of it.

My Friday night rambles...
Christine feels like the very essence of Fleetwood Mac to me. Where would this band be without her contributions? That instantly recognizable smooth voice, jaunty keys, multiple hit songs. The ying to Stevie's yang. Her countenance and very presence within the band for so long cannot be undervalued in my humble opinion. I realize Mick and John have more years in the band than she, but without her songwriting bridging multiple eras and providing continuity they wouldn't have lasted long after PG's departure. SYW is practically unlistenable to me. I'm sure her absence is no coincidence as to why. I am a big LB fan and consider him critically important to their successes, but I cannot deny that Christine is truly the lynchpin of the band. Sure "it's Mick's band" and he's the showman, but he'd have no band without Christine. |

I am a huge fan of a quorum--but in this case, I think it's been well established, it wasn't a few members, or a quorum, it was one, and the rest somehow were castrated (or in Christine's case...blindsided) on their way into the meetings.

As much as the idiots of the world worship $tevie, Christine was and is the balance that they needed. She "popped" it out, with that smooth pop voice. Thus, why she had the most hits. She balanced out the hippy chick, and the quirky guitarist, to where it all made sense, and made it radio friendly. That said, Lindsey was the artistic, creative force behind it, pushing that pop to the next level, making it stand out as something distinctive. $tevie is just a pop culture drone. People(for whatever reason) relate to her hippy dippy persona, spinning around(now) like a geriatric goat with a spastic colon, with less singing range than said goat. Oh yeah, SYW blows goats. No, not that one.

You also look at the differences in personality between Christine and $tevie.
Christine is by no means perfect. But, she's an amazing human being compared to $tevie Nicks. One is classy, beautiful, strong, talented and the other is nasty, spiteful, hateful, and a mess. But hey, $he $ells.
