I wouldn't write Cash off as a being
part of why she wants to rejoin the Mac.
A big part. Not necessarily a bad thing.

I am a fairly jaded, suspicious, and sarcastic person... but I just don't think money is the prime motivator here. Christine has always seemed to live pretty simply for a rock star- from what we know she has 1 home... the one where she lives in the English countryside. From a quick look at real estate listings of her village, prices for that area are fairly moderate. She probably cashed in when she sold her California house in '98, too. She never really had the epic drug addiction that Stevie or Mick did, either. I don't think she collects cars or failing business ventures like Mick.
So I'm guessing she has a very comfortable nest egg. I truly believe her when she says she's just bored living out in the countryside... and misses music.
Regarding me hating on Stevie... she's my favorite member, always has been. When Fleetwood Mac announced they were recording Say You Will without Christine, I was actually quite thrilled to see what Buckingham Nicks backed by Fleetwood Mac would sound like. Initially, it was incredibly exciting for me. But as time passed, I realized how vital Chris was to the sound of Fleetwood Mac. She balanced everything out, gave it that special sheen. There was just atmosphere lost with the departure of Christine- the magic was not present. I started to fall in love with her music shortly thereafter. I rate songs like Oh Daddy, Why, Brown Eyes, Over & Over, and others as my very favorite Mac tunes these days. Then In The Meantime came out, and the spell was complete- I realized how amazing Christine was, and how little I cared about Fleewood Mac without her. And I'm primarily a Fleetwood Mac fan. I love the solo albums of it's various members... I own them all. But they still will never hold a candle to my 5 fireflies. That's why I want to hear more about Christine in this thread. Not because I hate Stevie... quite the opposite. But because I LOVE Fleetwood Mac. I didn't ask for the Stevie conversation to be shut down from a Moderator perspective... I just want to hear more about Chris from a
fan perspective. There's so much to speculate! Let the games begin!
