These were fun interviews. Both this interviewer and the writer of the Sunday Times article have noticed that Lindsey's serenity sounds "rehearsed." Both journalists zero in on Christine as a happy, funny lady these days. And Mick and Stevie sound tonally similar in both interviews, respectively.
My favorite interview is with Christine, primarily because she got to speak about Bob Welch and acknowledge his importance to the band. For instance, she credits Bob with "kick-starting" her into a more commercial realm and working with her on three-part harmonies. I know this will be cold comfort to Wendy but it at least is a start towards rehabilitating Bob's legacy--and, based on one of the "MacNuggets" sections, something MoJo seems on-board with doing.
A few tidbits I'd never heard before: I had no idea John almost stabbed Christine in the neck; I also had no idea (behind the curve here) about Stevie's 1979 abortion and how that jump-started Sara.
