Maybe that's what he was doing. I can see it happening, easily. You're on tour, you're exhausted, the backlash from the band is beginning to occur because album sales figures are disappointing throughout the tour, you're wishing you were in the Clash (figuratively speaking), you're drinking a lot, you're tired of the set list, tired of performing, tired of the whole Fleetwood Mac machine....
During yet another performance of "Rhiannon," your ex goes through her moves, which you have always thought were silly....
Yep, it could easily have happened. However, I do think fans really have latched onto this particular incident & blown it out of all proportion. There were probably numerous such occurrences among all members of the band on that tour. That performance was supposed to have been broadcast to Australian or New Zealand radio, yet no one I know of has ever heard it or heard about it. Why don't we ask Ken Caillat to put *that* on the DVD-Audio?!
As for Christine's drinking, she used to half-jokingly call herself a wino. Wine was her big vice (possibly sole vice), she said. But I never saw a performance she gave or heard one taped in which her keyboard playing was sloppy or not locked in to the rhythm section. You can't be bombed out of your skull & still lock in to the rhythm section (although you can be a little buzzed or "relaxed").
