1977 photo of Chris
 

An article in the Daily Mail on 18 Oct has a couple of nice photos of the band I never saw before. One of them shows an apparently very happy Christine. Here's the link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ires-them.html

Not to be rude but I don't know what rock you've been hiding under. Those two pictures have been shown a million times, especially the first one.

I left a comment underneath the article.
Thank you.

Plymouth Rock?

I don't see it.. maybe it takes a little while..

I think Stevie was wrong about Christine not having been back once to the States.

didn't she do some promo work for ITM?

Gail

Yes, she spent a week in New York doing interviews, including that VH1 Classic TV thing & that World Cafe radio interview. I believe she may have had to contractually do that since she didn't tour to promote the album.

Come now, play nice. Just 'cause you've seen a certain photo a "million times" (certainly an exaggeration) it doesn't mean someone else has seen it even once, especially someone who is relatively new to this board.

And even if it's been shown before it's still a good one and worth another look.

I have seen the name "Lindsay" so many times now I'm starting to forget how the name is really spelled. Mr. Buckingham must have given up that particular fight long ago. Isn't "Lindsay" usually a girl's name, and "Lindsey" a boy's?

It is a good picture/article, I agree. As for Lindsey's name, I see it wrong so often too. I think the name 'Lindsey/Lindsay' started as a guy name but ended up a girl name (sort of like Whitney and Sidney have). Lots of times when I tell someone that Lindsey Buckingham is my favorite musician they answer "Cool, who's SHE!?!

Yep and I've had the same thing when I've told people I'm a Stevie fan..."who's he?" :lol:

So true!!!!

It seems in England you get more males being named Dana, Stacey, Leslie and Lindsey than you do here.

Rutheda obviously suffered so much over her own unfortunate christening that she decided that she would make her youngest miserable too.

With a name like that LB, how much more testosterone can there really be in the band:shrug:.

So, next time around, we'll make things tidier and give the boy a male name; give the girl a female name and, as for Christine . . .

We know that Christine got ribbed about "Perfect," but I wonder if she ever said anything in response. I'm sure she had the same dry wit as a youth that she has now. The question is, did she talk back or did she just keep a flippant, internal monologue going in her head?

When a teacher chided her about something and said more was expected from Miss Perfect, I wonder if Chris had a tart reply at the ready.

That was my friend's exact reaction when I told her last year that I was going to see Lindsey. She goes, "Who's she?"

We'd known each other for five years. I was considering ending the friendship right there. ;)

Maybe Lindsey's mom loved names that ended with an 'e' sound (Jeffrey, Gregory, Lindsey)

Maybe not when she was very little but I bet as she got older the replies got to be more tart

Did you know there is a musician whose name is Lindsay Mac and it's a SHE? She is an indie singer/songwriter who plays the cello as if it were a guitar. Quite unusual (and very good).

But I can't think of her without thinking of Fleetwood Mac ... for obvious reasons! LOL

As for the Lindsey/Stevie name gender confusion, when my dorm mate in college first brought home the White Album, we were really impressed with the new chick guitarist who had joined the band! I specifically remember my dorm mate commenting, "what's with this Stevie guy? All he does is sing a couple of songs." Our misunderstanding wasn't corrected until we saw them in concert! Then I remember we looked at each other and said "oh ... Lindsey is the GUY!"

That sort of thing doesn't happen any more in this internet/Youtube age.

Oh to be a fly on the wall watching "Christine march across the floor" to tell the boys she was "unhappy about their playing."

Oh, and the fact that Stevie got that first tophat in an antique store in Buffalo is just too perfect.

Yeah - Buffalo of all places. :rolleyes:

Yes I do love that image. I'm sure Chris was very assertive about the way she wanted the music to sound, or she wouldn't have made it in the business in the first place.

I really wish she'd write her autobiography ... I know, I know, it's just an impossible fantasy and it won't happen. (sigh)

I thin we've all heard her tell Mick not to get "too f*ckin fancy" :laugh:

Gail

I actually like what Mick was doing on that track... I think it was "over and over" ...

He was jazzing it up and she didn't like it... probably couldn't get her groove on with that beat...

I'm with Christine on this one. I bet Mick was wearing a f*ckin stupid shirt as well! :laugh:

Gail

Refresh my memory if you will ... what is this from?

I can't remember too well... I had some tapes of them rehearsing songs... and Mick starts this jazzy intro to Over and Over... and Christine says, "not to f*in fancy"

It was from I think the Tusk Tour rehersals.

They start Over & Over and Christine is singing beautifully then Mick puts in a little extra beat and Christine says "don't get too f*ckin fancy" and then carries on singing as if nothing had happened

Voice like an angel, mouth like a sewer :laugh:

I've probably got it somewhere I'll dig it put and post it later

Gail

I can imagine they all had a pretty extensive vocabulary...
