How could one look at the once-homely Christine McVie, her face stretched into a texture-less fright mask from multiple plastic surgeries, her stage presence strongly diminished from the glory days of Tusk into a piddly mockery of an emotionless robot, and not keel over in a puddle of vomit?

Wait. None of them are cute and blond. Never mind.
I don't think that "journalist" was right, or fair, about singling Stevie out, either. However, I strongly disagree that Christine was "strongly diminished from the glory days of Tusk" into a piddly mockery of an emotionless robot." She's definitely had work done on her face and was using a lot of makeup to cover wrinkles, but she still looked real to me. And as far as her stage performance, she was in top form--just more reserved at the mic in between numbers than she might have been during the cocaine years.
