"Ask me stuff" is in there. Click on that. Then type away! Also, there is the option to ask anonymously, if you so choose.

Yay!!! I got one answered finally!!

Anonymous: Hi Richard & Stacy. People keep asking if Christine and Lindsey have ever slept together. I've always thought they were like brother and sister or even more importantly great collaborators. I have read that they are writing new music together and stated that their chemistry is better than ever. Did you ever witness this great chemistry between Christine and Lindsey musically? Thanks for the great blog!

Yes, all the time during the records I made with them. Lindsey is so brilliant musically and Christine so amazing with melody and lyric. The symbioses between the two, is an artistic Yin & yang, a divine balance as it were. What makes it so special is how natural the two flow their creative energy in the same direction, different colors, but one painting. Magic really. Thanks for the great question.

Not sure if anything about this has been posted,nor do I know the reputation Richard has here on the forum, but I was curious anyway.

I was reading his tumblr blog "Truth and Consequences". A question and answer I read on there really caught my eye. Someone asked, " So do you think this will be the final tour of the whole band?", and this was his simple response:

"Yes I do, after this current touring cycle, my gut instinct tells me yes. See them while & if you can. I know it is not cheap, but history marches toward us fast & bucket lists can be easily knocked over."

Do you think this will in fact be the last tour for the band? I'm sure people think that after every tour though. I was under the impression that the band was really excited about the potential of the new material, and that there would be another new tour to promote said new music.

I just don't get the impression that this will be the last? Christine especially seems to have had her vigor and passion for the band reignited.

Thoughts?

that's a crappy way to push tickets they would bleed us if this was it

While plans can certainly change (especially if, perish the thought, there are additional health issues), I believe that the band has every intention of touring again after the new album is finished. Mick, Lindsey & Christine have all certainly intimated as much. While Stevie's rush to record and release '24 Karat Gold' now, as opposed to simply holding off until after the tour, also implies that the band has post-'On With The Show' plans.

From what they've said in interviews, it sounds like there will probably be two albums worth of material by the time all is said and done.

Sure sounds that way, doesn't it? I have a sneaking feeling this upcoming album will be the last, though. Stevie just doesn't seem to be interested in that aspect of Fleetwood Mac anymore. However, I still see the band continuing touring for the next 5-10 years so long as their health permits it.

I do have to wonder if Richard Dashut has some inside information we aren't privy to, though. The scenario that keeps running through my mind is Richard is saying this will be the last tour because of John's health. Just think about it- if John's cancer was terminal, John would absolutely NOT want a fuss made about it. He'd want to do one last tour with Christine, then retire out of the public eye. This would also explain Christine's sudden unexpected return to the band. I truly, truly hope I'm way wrong on this of course.
