comments about Chris...starts around 5:04
..she had some new ideas for songs.. so when we were at the end of our tour last year in England, she had given me a bunch of material in very, very rough form-- just singing and ...piano and voice. And I took it home... and... did what I have always done for her, and Stevie-- I constructed it, and produced it and made demos of it. Sent it back to her… and… and this was very reaffirming for
me, too, because this was a piece of what I'd always done, that had been missing, you know? Um, my dynamic with Stevie is a little different... so, you know, um…. Christine
really wanted this from me at this particular time, and I was able to give it and so… after.. you know, prepping, she came over and we went into the studio for a couple of months… [……]
[…] it was better than ever. It was
magical. We, we just jammed and…. we..we.. you know,
cowrote. I brought in some of my material, some of which I'd had from before, and some newer things, and we ended up recording with John and Mick about 9 songs in the period of about two months and getting them about.. mmm... 75 percent to completion. Um, Stevie was at that time uh...otherwise engaged, and… you know she's planning on coming in at the end of this tour at which point we will finish this and put out some new product.
So rather than taking his masculinity away, it sounds like Christine actually gave some of it back to him..
