You are out of your mind if you think Time was planned at that time.

And, yet, that video I posted says otherwise. At the time of that interview, the band was Mick, John, Christine, and Billy. Billy quit in April, Bekka was added in May, and Dave Mason sometime in the Fall. Christine was a part of that lineup. Again, there’s photographic evidence. I’m going on the facts as they happened in real time, not a book whitewashing the band’s history.

I know I wont convince you of anything but Chris's issues started with the 1994 earthquake and she was done living in LA.

That’s great. However, they started the album in late 1993.

You are crazy to infer at this time her or the band was convinced to do the Dance in a few years.

I think it started in late-1994, after the stunning successes of Hell Freezes Over and No Quarter.

You dont think 1996 was rock bottom? Mick working on a Lindsey album that was not going to be released in years? Stevie doing a song for a movie that no one heard and she walked off stage to never sing on stage again.

Between February and mid-May, 1996, Mick announced that he was working with Lindsey, the Time lineup was dissolved, “Twisted” was released, Stevie appeared with Mick, John, and Christine at the Kentucky Derby, and it came out that John and Christine were also working on Lindsey’s new album. The Mac was dead, long live the Mac.

It does not matter how much Time was promoted, it was not going to chart thus the record company knew it was a waste of money.

The bigger point is that they had zero intention of doing anything with the album months before it was released.

I remember Chris's online interview in 1995 where she said she was officially done and even questioned the Time lineup. That is something Chris never did, sort of bash the Mac.

She didn’t actually say she was done and the only one she singled out was Dave Mason, saying she wasn’t sure what he had to do with Fleetwood Mac. No mention of Bekka and only made a joke about Billy already nuts when he joined. Although, she certainly talked up Lindsey, which was…interesting.
