what could be Christine's next move?

[applebucked]

The London appearances have ran its course. So the question is...what do you think would happen next for our songbird?

[HomerMcvie]

I think she's chomping at the bit to rejoin, but ONLY in a limited capacity. Recording, with maybe a few select shows.


Gigantic CHILD (Lindsey) won't accept that.

But since he won't accept that, IMO the most realistic option is another solo record.

Unless both parties (meaning her and the rest of the band) are willing to compromise and do a shorter tour that does not involve too much flying around. The fact that she flew to places this year is quite significant in that she's at least trying to cope with the fear (with some help, perhaps?)

That's exactly what I think. Since she won't be allowed to do that because of you know who, I think a solo album is possible.

I've loved seeing these Don't Stop videos from London. That's the first time I've seen anything from Fleetwood Mac since that Grammy medley 15 years ago. But those Hawaii videos were even better since Mick let her do more. I think I've seen the Get Like You Used To Be video over 200 times by now. I think if Mick does anything more with his blues band and I assume he will, it wouldn't surprise me if she would contribute in some way with that.

Oh wow, great to see you here, Mary Ann. Read some of your posts while I was still a lurker and I'm glad we have you back here.

Don't know how many times I watched the Maui videos. All I know is that it's a lot. And good god, she looked, played and sounded great both London nights (okay the first one was a little rough, but that's probably nerves and a bit of rustiness)

I think she'll stay primarily retired, but I don't really like the phrase "go back into hiding" since that's never what she was doing.

She may do the odd bit now and again for fun, but basically these appearances seem to confirm to me that retirement agrees with her.

I was supposed to change it to "go back to retirement" earlier but I couldn't edit it anymore.

God I wish there was at least ONE interview with Chris during this timeframe.

I'm pretty sure I'm just being a total quibbling boob (again!) about it anyway. Not to worry!

Yes, it would be nice to have interviews from that time. But I guess interviews must usually kinda suck, and if you don't actually have a product to push...

Maybe she'll get a twitter account.

I only want answers for three question
1. How was it to be back on stage with them?
2. What are your future plans?
3. What's with the hairclip?



I would die from happiness if she gets a Twitter. She's got a wicked sense of humor AND seems to be more technologically adept than Stevie is (imagine her livetweeting during Wimbledon or maybe while watching the telly, or post photos of her cooking, or perhaps the dogs). Then again, the lady hates typing.

Her bio could be like this: "I used to be a rock star, now I'm just a crazy dog lady who drowns herself in television, tea and chocolate Hobnobs"

[Dex]

Twitter doesn't really require that much typing at the end of the day, plus she has a reputation for being bitingly sarcastic and often drunk. Sounds like an ideal twitterer to me!

My theory about that hairclip is that she's testing us somehow. I'm not exactly sure what the test is. But it must be some kind of test.

[applebucked]

Chris has been sober for the past 14 odd years, but the bitingly sarcastic sense of humor is still there, so yes, still an ideal tweeter.

I wonder what test that is...

There is one. She did a BBC 2 radio interview in late August, but it hasn't aired yet. Somebody named Johnny Walker interviewed her. I've been checking his web page, but no mention of Christine through at least early October.

I have no idea why they didn't air this the week before the London dates. Or at least the Sunday after.

Here is BBC radio 4 woman's hour - Stevie Nicks talking about the history and the upcoming London show:
