He was gorgeous. I mean his quirky exuberance might have hooked me by itself, but the looks didn't hurt. And really, from the start I ate up the interaction between the 3 songwriters. Mind you, I wasn't paying attention to them when all the divorces got press time in 1977. I think the only divorced celebrities I was worried about were Sonny and Cher. So, by 1979 when I saw them onstage together, I wasn't looking for animosity, friction or break up residue. I was attracted to the more tender and personal moments that I saw. I imagined these bonds that may be stronger in my head than they are in reality, but it really captured me.
But I do have to admit that back then, I wanted to marry Michael Jackson --
. Yes, just don't judge me! So, FM didn't entirely become my favorites at that point. Although I did see Stevie's solo shows, when faced with a conflict of interest, in 1984, I saw the Jacksons Victory Tour
eleven times and I didn't see Christine McVie even once. I regret it now. Of course, I
should regret the fact that I was spending money my dad gave me for school to go around the country attending concerts, but I don't think I'm plagued with guilt about it. My poor dad.
I don't claim to have the greatest taste in music. I like a wide range of stuff, from the forties through the eighties. I'll listen to it all, but it tends to be the most commercial music of its era that I'm drawn to. I can't say I'm a connoiseur of great art.
