I remember when she denigrated In The Meantime after she rejoined the world, and I was absolutely flabbergasted. I thought that album was the best collection of songs she’d ever released (still do). After all these years, Chris is simply a well oiled PR machine. She’s arguably better at crafting an exacting message & repeating it ad nauseum than any of them. If Lindsey were ever to work with her again, she’d do the same thing- gush over him while discrediting Crowded Heartbreakers. It’s just what she does. You don’t stay in the pop music business 50 years without towing the line. Not that her words here don’t dismay me, but I also know not to take them at face value.

Well this has been an interesting little experiment because I feel the same way, Louie, and it kind of sounds like we're in the minority? Unless she's intending to make a (usually sharp) point, I feel like Chris is always a relatively boring interview, just reading the script, answering the questions the way you'd expect her to. She does her best to promote her thing and NOT make news.
The most disappointing part of the article to me was the fact that, given the chance, she only named Rumours songs as what she wanted her legacy to be. C'mon!
I don't hold anything against folks getting upset about what she said. I think there's a good chance I'm already desensitized to this stuff now, almost a year later. What will ultimately mire my view of her is if, after this tour concludes and Stevie goes on her next solo tour, Chris sits idly by and does nothing until Fleetwood Mac resumes. Not participating in LBCM 2 would be a tragedy.
