The non-hits hold up better: Smile I Live For, Ask Anybody, One in a Million, and So Excited.

I still occasionally hear Got a Hold on Me in stores.

She'll always be my favorite. But she lost my respect. Chaise lounge Christine folds like a cheap lawn chair, has no spine, and doesn't stand up for her friends. Company shill!!!!

You can't stop thinking about her, everyday and night.

Yeah, but they used to be positive thoughts. Now they're thoughts of disappointment. And some wishing her a spine transplant!:D


WHY can't she chuck a glass of wine at $tevie, and slap her?

That reminds me of a favorite drama moment from Mick's first book. After Stevie got out of rehab she was not happy with Tango and how she was barely on the album. Then she threatened the band stating she was going to Rolling Stone and tell them she had nothing to do with the album. Stevie turned to Chris and told her that she should have been on the backing vocals to Everywhere. According to Mick, Chris had a few glasses of wine in her and took Stevie to the mat. Chris fired back that she wanted Stevie on backing vocals but "you were not here."
Now if she would have chucked a glass of wine, that would have made that moment so much sweeter :)

I hear it a lot, too. An easy-listening mainstay. But I still think the non-hits I mentioned hold up better.

Yes the Challenge is pretty cool especially with Eric Clapton on guitar. Not only was it the name of John McVie's boat but also the name of Christine's tour bus in 1984. Walking from the parking lot to the theater there was a fancy tour bus with the words "The Challenge" painted on the rear side.
(just a little known fact......use it as you may)

The rock stations loved to play One in a million

I leave if the common songs are on, but if I hear something like As Long as You Follow in the drug store, I will stay. I might leave for Little Lies.

Agreed. This should be a new thread -
During What Song Would You Leave The Store?

SYLM
Over My Head
Dreams
Sara
Everywhere
Say You Will!!!!!
Peacekeeper(I'd probably leave)

That's all I've got. The only ones I wouldn't bother dragging my feet until they're over....
