Wendy, I would love for Bob to be inducted as he played a big part in Fleetwood Mac's history, I was very surprised he wasn't. But the story that Christine was the only one who prevented that, doesn't make any sense. Like shackin'up said, where was John and surely Stevie & Lindsey had some say in the matter. Please enlighten us. And for the record, I love Bob's music. Thanks!
This is from the Q&A session August 4 - 17 2003:
He said it didn't help he couldn't talk to Mick but he didn't say anything about Christine....

Thank you for this, Catdancer.
And let's say Christine did insist Bob was not to be included: the fact that the rest of the band allowed that decision to be made makes all of them culpable.
I love Bob's music, too, and in the couple of email exchanges I shared with him, he seemed like a really cool guy. He deserves to be inducted. But I think it's really offensive to blame one person about this. Christine served the FM cause for 28 years (not including guest appearances on other albums). She's retired now and should be left alone. Period.
