I was just quoting what was said in an interview. Actually, I give Ken Caillat the a lot of credit, too. When he said that Christine told him the book brought "passion back into the music for her, I suspected we'd be seeing her return in some form. Clearly, that brought something back, something Mick could work with. She wouldn't have jammed with the blues band at rehearsals let alone considered going on stage without something triggering her enthusiasm for playing music.

I give Mick credit for getting them together for The Dance. By himself, Lindsey would have gotten just Mick on his solo album. I think it is Mick who asked John to join and play bass on Lindsey's stuff. Lindsey has asked Christine to be on his solo albums himself in the past, but I don't think he would have done it then. And I'm 100% sure he would not have asked John. I think Mick got them on Lindsey's GOS songs and I think he did it hoping and plotting for an FM reunion which we got.

Eh, I'm a little more cynical than that. I think Lindsey knew what was going to happen when he asked Mick to play on GOS, and I think he really wanted that to happen. Just look at the timeline. The "Time" band's last show was November 15, 1995 at COMDEX. Mick announced that he and Lindsey were working together in February, 1996. By April, 1996, Mick announced that he disbanded Fleetwood Mac, and the "Twister" soundtrack was released in May, 1996.
