Good point. You can still be very close to someone even if you don't see that person very much. That whole interview was great, by the way.

Yeah, I thought it was a nice interview. I do love Mick, even if I rag on him sometimes.

Yeah, I think it's pretty evident that Mick's, John's and Christine's loyalties were always to each other first because they basically started out together. Nobody else could ever be in on their experiences in exactly the same way. It's interesting that Bob Welch didn't find their loyalty to each other very welcoming to other people.

That's very true. It must have been real easy to feel like an outsider looking in on that little 'party of three'; they had quite a solidarity going on there for many years. But I admire the devotion and loyalty they had towards each other; it must be similar to what Stevie and Lindsey feel-- a 'we struggled together, we stuck by each other through the good and bad, and nobody else knows just what we went through' vibe. I think the group as a whole shared that to an extent-- regarding the whole 'life in the FM bubble' experience-- but there must have always been that degree of separation of M/J/C from everyone else.
