I think we all kind of had a feeling that FM would end like this — losing one of them with the band broken up over the personality issues that perhaps drove them to their biggest success also. There’s something very tragic about that big picture.
For me, losing Chris just makes it even sadder because she wasn’t really involved in the drama, except as a mediating force. At the end of the day, while I was sort of puzzled by her continuing with the Mac post LB being booted, I also understand and am grateful that she had the chance to have one last big tour with the band. I would say that I regret for her that her career was subject to the crazy of her band mates, but that’s the rocket they all rode to major success and perhaps was their fate.
It’s a lot of jumbled thoughts still. But I am truly grateful that so many people have paid such lovely tributes to her. They are all so well deserved.
