Very true, very well stated. Exactly the same as many peoples resentment towards Rick and Billy for stepping in when the beloved Lindsey backed out of the Tango Tour. FM fans are an emotional lot.

What seems different here, though, is that Sheryl Crow didn't sound like she was offering to fill the void of Christine's departure -- she came across more as wanting to jump right to the front and make it, like, Sheryl Crow with Fleetwood Mac.. Or maybe that was just my perception....
