NO!!! That only lasted a few months. A band is a full-time thing. I won't speake for ChiliD, but I have a hunch his feelings aren't too different from my own. But, by 1997 their careers collectively went down the crapper. Mick, John, and Christine bombed with a new Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey bombed on his first major outing as a solo artist, and Stevie bombed as an established solo artist. Combined, they were lucky to be selling what
Bare Trees or
Mystery To Me sold prior to 1975! Now, I'm not saying that was the only reason they got back together, I'm just saying so-and-so starts looking less like an areshole when your career is tanking. Except for Christine, who just wanted to retire on a respectable note (mission accomplished).
