1970
The Beatles started a 2 week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'The Long And Winding Road', the groups 20th US No.1. Paul McCartney offered the song to Tom Jones who turned it down.

Christine McVie releases a solo album and then announces her retirment from music.Within the year she joined her husband John in Fleetwood Mac.

Nothing like a nice long retirement. ;)

haha! i didn't know she announced her retirement ... it kinda makes me sad that she wrote homeward bound like a year later, and then spent the next 1000 years touring. oh well, she made a mint and NOW she can enjoy retirement in style.

this last one lasted 5 years

1998-2003 then she started in the meantime

That retirement lasted about 6 weeks.:laugh: That's actually pretty cool to see the Beatles & Christine together in that press release.:cool:

Show off. :D

JK - that's awesome!

That was the Rotterdam show, correct?

Yes, and it was great. It was my first concert ever.

LOL.

Well, it would've been great if her and Dennis W. wouldn't have been so drunk, I could hardly understand what she was talking about. Turned that she asked for my name but when I said:"Debbie" she just signed her name with (what I assume) the words 'thank you'. There's no way I can read it hahahahaha.

:lol: Sounds like Chris.

NOW she can sit at home in her rockin' chair. :)

omg, how cute is she? honestly.

wow dennis was there too? wow! so what did he seem like?

hehe i love chris!!!

I wouldve given anything to have seen that tour. Alas, I was only 9 at the time.:o

He was drunk :lol: but he was nice. Chris handed him my tourbook for him to sign but he said:"No, they're here for you" (or something like that, his speech was slurred). He had a Beach Boys concert a couple of days before and they got pretty good feedback from the press and I told him about that. The only thing he said was:"That's nice" He couldn't care less. Chris said to come and see them again, we said yes, we will like good little girls and they took off (with a big bottle of Southern Comfort in between them :lol: )
