I'm happy and sad at the same time. Honor her work is recognized but sad she never saw it happen by just a few months.
How Buck/Vie was never nominated and won for best pop duo is beyond me. This is way I hate award shows.

Well sh*t, that performance sure made me cry.

How long/short was it? What was it like?

It's still weird knowing that she's gone.

Sheryl on piano, singing the first verse. Bonnie sitting on a stool, and sang the second verse. Mick had his talking drum, and was sort of doing a heartbeat sound with it, even for a couple seconds after the song was over. It was pretty moving.

I think tonight was the first time it really hit me. The day her death was announced I was driving home from burying one of my best friends who suffered from a horrible disease for the last few years. I literally heard about Chris’s death on XM just as I was about to pull into my driveway. I was already numb from
The past few days. I dunno, it certainly wasn’t like I didn’t get it. But it didn’t “hit” me. Until tonight. I’m not sure I ever realized how important she and her music was to me. I can trace my fandom of Fleetwood Mac to three different times in my young life and each time it was Chris and her songs that brought me in.

I didn’t like the first verse or the drumming at first. I thought it seemed to get better once Bonnie started singing. Mick thumping the heartbeat after the song finished tore me up.

Thanks a million – hope someone puts it on YouTube.

It would have been nice if Christine was alive to receive her Grammy. Christine was such a great vocalist for more than a half of a century.

Bonnie is a much more emotionally evocative singer than is Sheryl (and I like Sheryl).
