there's been some discussion on the Lindsey and Stevie boards but unsurprisingly they're not discussing Christine!
I've got it on order from Amazon (it's not out here until the end of the month)
This is the only bit I could find
"I left out the description of Christine. She seems like someone you'd really want to meet:
"Christine was a guys' girl, a good sport- think Katherine Hepburn's elegance and boyish charm, or Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby. She was earthy and tough, despite the pure voice and the poignant love songs she wrote. She was the band mother, as Stevie was the wayward band child." (introduction, page xi)"
I'm sure there are other parts of the book where she is mentioned but I'll just have to wait and see

A coincindence that a week or two ago La Nicks referred to CM as the band's mother?

aleuzzi has asked on the Stevie board if there are any Chris references and someone has said that Songbird and Oh Daddy were written about Curry Grant and only later did she change their meanings to fit in with what the fans were thinking.
And there is some reference to Christine's "Granny Knickers" which hopefully someone is going to elaborate on later. The mind boggles!
Thanks aleuzzi

There are quite a few Christine weaved throughout the book, and a lot of references to Dennis Wilson, as Sara Fleetwood, Carol Ann Harris and Dennis hung out together since they weren't "in" the band. I'll include one part, that I thought was very funny:
Storms: My Life with Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac by Carol Ann Harris (2007, Introduction, XI):
John McVie was the straight-faced, badly dressed joker, with a brilliantly dry wit, never sober, the big, crazy brother you never had, while Christine could out-drink any man but had never learned to do girly things or dress up like a homecoming queen. Once, driving to a band photo shoot with Richard Avedon, one of the world's most famous photographers, she was pulled over by the NYPD, who suspected they'd seen her snorting coke as she drove. Fortunately she snorted the entire stash, so there was no proof. But to her humiliation and fury she'd been strip-searched while wearing the large graying pair of knickers we all keep in the bottom of our lingerie drawer. "I was saving my new pink silk ones for the shoot!" she screamed at us all, still raging, when she arrived. "I was wearing my usuals!"
"Oh my God, Chris, not the cotton English granny knickers?" Stevie gasped. Big knickers weren't Stevie's style. From a wealthy family, she'd grown up in silk.
Christine nodded and burst into tears.
John Courage leapt to his feet, shaking his fist. "I'll have their badges!" he promised.
John Courage to the rescue. :laugh: Some of this stuff is a real hoot. Some of the book is disturbing. There is a bit from Dennis Wilson's Charlie Manson time. So yes, there are references to Christine throughout the book, but it's not focused on Christine per se. There's funny references to all the members of the band from time to time.

Christine nodded and burst into tears.
Oh dear poor Christine. We all have big grey knickers that aren't for public viewing.
Mind you I have to say if she hadn't been snorting coke when driving none of this would have happened. A salutory lesson.
Gail
PS I had a somwhat similar experience once when I arrived at a small Spanish airport years ago. A security man made me open my case which was really fully so when I eventually got the damn thing open a pair of my (old grey) knickers flirted out of the case and onto the floor. I was mortified!

Actually, I was just about to ask what knickers were, then I reread the article again and figured it out.... :eek:
I believe "knickers," as Americans know them, are short, knee-length pants that young guys used to wear in the early decades of the 20th century. Correct me if I'm wrong, though....

I have to say that shocked me too. Of all the stupid brainless things to do. She might have killed herself or worse killed someone else.
Although she must have been very embarassed there is part of me that thinks served her damn well right.
Still it is reassuring to know that she was wearing "granny knickers" :laugh:

Knickers is short for knickerbockers which as you say were knee length trousers.
The word was then used to describe underwear. Premdominently women's but can also be use for men's.
They spawned the classic english expression "don't get your knickers in a twist" meaning don't get upset or angry or agitated
It's not a word I can picture Stevie using though.

I wouldn't consider anything in this book to be reliable information. Doesn't the author have an axe to grind? And she wants to sell copies, so the more scandalous the book is, the better. On the other hand, it might be a mindless fun read; I'll consider buying it when the price for a used copy on Amazon drops to about a dollar. (I suspect that's about what the book is worth.)
My library doesn't even have it (I just checked their on-line catalogue), which I suspect means it's pretty much utter trash.

This is a part early in the book where Lindsey takes Carol Ann to a Post Rumors party. (FYI Stevie is a no show.) Apparently, Chris starts asking Carol Ann all sorts of questions about her background, what she does now, etc. etc. Carol Ann says that she and her live-in boyfriend make bootlegs of concerts. They sneak in a mike and a tape recorder and then later produce colored vinyl LP's for sale.
Chris asks her if she is planning to pirate Rumors and Carol Ann bleaches and says something like "OH NO! I would never do that."
Then our little Carol Ann has passed "the test" and the band decides she is alright and can become a member of the inner circle. (Lindsey is gushing and so proud of his "little girl.")
BTW...Chris was the member - delegated to interrogate little Carol Ann, who is viewed as a very innocent, delicate, child. There are many apologies about "sorry to put you through that but we HAD to know, etc. etc."
Then the party is descibed and Carol Ann says people end up having to use the bathroom a lot -- quickly and frequently, even while they are still talking (cocaine reference) and she can't quite figure out why.
Yes, it seems to get humorous as little innocent Carol Ann tells her story, like she is the little lamb and the rest are wolves in sheep's clothing. Only thing is that she is so naive', I can't tell if she is serious or just plain "stahoopid".

Well, she has to sell books, right? And the only way to tell her story without appearing to be a part of the (read) "immoral" mayhem is to position herself as fly-on-the-wall/ fish-out-of-water. I'm sure, however, that she was just dying to be part of the very inner circle that she critiques with supposed incredulity.
That said, much of the information is probably grounded in some level of fact. I don't want to imagine that Chris was snorting while driving, but the truth is I've known many people who have done dumber things than that while behind the wheel. And Stevie's dog who likes to snort coke? Again: I've known people to get their dogs high--as appalling as that might be.

Stevie's dog snorted coke?:shocked: That's horrible. This book sounds like it might even be a bit trashier than Mick's book.:laugh:

If that is true about the dog that's appalling.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before a really trashy book came out about them. It's a matter of where you place the emphasis - has she just concentrated on the wild stuff and left out normality. Was there any normality?

(Note -- I am a former English teacher, so I have my own biases.)
When Chris is mentioned in the book, she ususally has a drink in one and and a cigarette in the other. The drink of choice is always vodka.
The image is, that she is a hard drinking, swearing, maculine individual and basically "nobody's gonna mess with Chris." She is kind and ocassionally comes up to Carol Ann and puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder when Carol Ann feels like a fish out of water, (amongst the press & Warner Execs. etc.) So, she is also seen as the mother who keeps an eye out. Julie Ruebens (later McVie?) is the one that Carol bonds with.
Chris also doesn't know how to dress and has to learn the finesse of wearing attractive clothing, because it doesn't come natural to her. She is more "one of the guys". If there is something hard or requiring an iron fist approach, they have Chris do it, and Mick and John are in the background looking wimpy.
The reader gets a sense that part of this is the British vs. American culture and Carol Ann generally sides with the American side. There does seem to be a lot of tension due to the stoic - no feelings allowed - British approach, whereas the Americans are more "touchy feely" etc.
Last night while reading, it occurred to me that this book resembles a Shakespearean play....Lindsey is the misunderstood Hamlet, John and Chris are the supporting characters in the background, John is talkative, warm and inclusive, Mick is a sexual buffoon, a kind of earthy character, and Stevie is the comic relief. Stevie....well...if for no other reason, you gotta buy the book for Stevie. The descriptions of her and her girlfans, are like the wtiches in MacBeth...they often slink into the shadows of the room. Stevie comes on stage and you bust up laughing. Part of this are the snide remarks made by the author about how Stevie acts, dresses and the things she says. She basically is the brunt of the author's jokes and brings it on herself. (Not being a great Stevie fan, I found it comical. Don't get me wrong, I am a Stevie fan, but a mild one.)
The author really isn't subjective, unless it is the passages about John, Christine , Mick and the rest of the inner circle. If she talks about herself, Lindsey or Stevie, the tone changes and takes an immature bias. She is not the causal observer, no, she gets in the dirt and kicks up gravel. I enjoy the book because of that fact...it gets humorous. I also enjoy the book because if you can read between the lines and focus on the other people *not the love triangle* it is interesting. I just wish there were more passages about the other people.
Alas, with that being said, I got bored with the book last night...for me it is hard to read...because I keep getting this Disney heroine cartoon in my mind....so .... I skipped and read the last chapter to see if I will stay with this thing. I was saddened. The tone and voice of the writer is much different, almost like someone else is writing it. Because of this change I wil continue reading it.

Most of the older pictures you see of Christine she does have a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Although I always thought the drink was wine.

All of that sounds right. Chris has described herself as having a mouth like a sewer:D & being "one of the guys", since she was always working with men. She's also said that she felt most comfortable in jeans, so the part about not knowing how to dress is right too.

I'm not so sure about this "not knowing how to dress" business.
what's right or wrong about the way people dress? Surely it's a matter of personal choice?
I think she might have been a bit insecure about it because didn't she once go shopping with an ex of Dennis Wilson's because he didn't like the way she dressed? I'd have told him to sod off if he'd said that to me

I was referring to the Dennis Wilson episode when I meant not knowing how to dress. That and another article from back in the late 1960's when she said she didn't like to wear dresses & preferred dressing like the other "blokes" in Chicken Shack. She certainly knows how to dress now. Check out all those fantastic Tusk & Tango pictures of her.

I think at that time she "didn't know how to dress" to please that pratt Dennis Wilson. When she was with Chicken Shack she was really one of the blokes and so jeans were appropriate.
Nowadays she still doesn't dress like a "Homecoming Queen". What exactly is a Homecoming Queen?

Yes she probably went with the pink silk - at least then she would feel better after the naughty policemen outed her as wearing granny knickers. Nothing wrong with sensible BIG knickers. Not much good if you're out on the pull (trying to pick someone up or get picked up) but very comfy.

I've actually thought about this. If Eddy wrote a book, I'd definitely read it. But, I'd buy it used, so as not to give him any of my money.

I almost never check out the Stevie & Lindsey boards. But, I have read the threads about this book though. It's pretty interesting to read the animosity towards Carol Ann Harris from Lindsey fans especially.

speaking of eddy, does anybody have a picture of him? not that i really care, but he is the name of which has no face. I have never seen him. only heard of him :shrug:
and, being as big of a Lindsey fan as I am, think that i would rather read a book written about chris than lindsey. I mean, it just seems CAH is just trying to make money, and is only using the bad parts, i would rather read about chris' granny knickers and how she lived her life than lindseys abuseive ways.
and one more thing-i like the way chris dresses :thumbsup:
Ive modeled several of my school outfits after stuff shes worn, between her and stevie, my clothes between march and june were mostly inspired by them [seeing as the dresses couldnt be worn in the winter...].
I particularly love chris' clothes in the Little Lies video. that jacket with that skirt-genius! [i did that in...december i think, i got a compliment from the guy i like on it :laugh: ]

if eddy wrote a book, i would definitely want to read it. but i would go to the bookstore and read it there, so as not to give that b@stard any of my money. :lol: then once it came into my library, i would check it out and photocopy the whole thing. this is probably what i will do with "storms" (minus the photocopying. . .not worth the effort in this case). i'll sit down in one of those comfy chairs at border's with a cup of tea and read the whole thing in one shot.

I particularly love chris' clothes in the Little Lies video. that jacket with that skirt-genius!
so CAH can STFU about chris' clothes :)
actually i love her ensemble in that video as well.
did i read correctly in one of the other threads that CAH is/was a costumer? and that she worked on the "save me" video? no doubt she dressed that ridiculously random native american couple. so yes, based on that alone, i'd say she can certainly STFU about chris.

OMG Aisling! I might have to wait and do that for Storms :lol:

Plus Chris > CAH on coolness scale. :cool:
speaking of eddy, does anybody have a picture of him? not that i really care, but he is the name of which has no face. I have never seen him. only heard of him :shrug: :)
Go to http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=18386, a previous thread. There are earlier photos around of him with Christine, but these are much more recent.

I remember this thread. Just went back to it and noticed these (unreleased) songs written by Chris and Eddy:
can't get enough
gina
i believe, l believe
on our own
ordinary man
this feeling of love
Does anyone have any demos of these?
BTW: I have no proof but I have a hunch Eddy's primary contribution to Chris's songs were lyrics. She has always had some difficulty filling out the verses.
