You European people can get on a plane and get anywhere around Europe so easily! It's so hard for us Americans

Like my friend lives in KENT and I am meeting him in Amsterdam April 16th. My flight is like 8 hours and $680. He likes takes an hour minute flight for like 30 pounds or something. NOT fair! LOL!

London is the hot spot right now for everything ABBA the beginning of April, but tickets NOW to London are about $1500. Insanity!

If she would "tour" this summer, there would be no way for me

I don't think she'd tour though...

Maybe a talk show show or two? I have heard of Graham Norton, I know Gillian Anderson was on that show ( didn't see it though but she lives in London and does all those shows ) but anything like that would be cool because our England friends would make sure we Americans could see it

Right...??

I'm just excited to get an album, but I hope it comes here to the US! Please please please!

I know NOTHING about travel expenses, but have you tried expedia.com for travel packages? I did that when I went last November. Worth a try, perhaps?

Yippee!

What kind of publicity do you think the new record will get? If Christine just stays at home, then no one will no about it. So, maybe she is coming back to the USA for a few months to do the talk shows and a short tour? I don't know, but they need to do something for people to realize she has a new album. And I hope it is released in the USA because it wouldn't make sense if it wasn't.

Speaking of which, is there any chance for a hit single? I think if they promote it right, she could have a hit. I mean we are talking about the woman who wrote Don't Stop, You Make Loving Fun, Little Lies, and Hold Me. She has the "hit single" secret and if this company plays there cards right and promotes it, maybe Christine could be the female Sting! A mature artist who caters to a young hip audience!

And wouldn't it be funny if Christine did have a hit song and her record sold more then Say You Will?

I'm so excited!

Well... I kinda think it will have NO publicity. No tour whatsoever, either. I just hope it makes it all the way over here. And I'm more than glad that her music will be heard again, after all these years. As long as it makes us fans (and the artists) happy, I kind of don't care anymore for massive success. Most of the music played on radio these days is pure rubbish anyway.

Song of the moment - Gold And Braid

Well, now you know what it feels like

- the Dance tour: no European leg
- all the Stevie tours: no European leg
and so many more other US-performances... and I didn't even mention all the television specials.

But we've got Christine!

Oh, I hope it. For her. She'll never gross as much as mac by touring

Here is the comment about Christine's songs being rockier:

April 21, 2000: From the April George Hawkins Q&A: "I haven't seen Chris for over a year. I also hadn't spoken with her in nearly that long; until last night, ironically! She called me from England. She has been there for some time, and has been living the life of a "grand English matron", as she put it, "piddling around the garden in my sun hat and Wellies" (Wellies are Wellington rubber, over the calf-style gardening and mud boots). I tried to remember and ask some of the questions I've received about her, but the moment was so personal and intimate, I couldn't bring myself to conduct an interview. Although I will pass on what she said that is relevant to all of us: She lives in the country, and has a local pub. She has good "sort of salt of the earth" friends and pubmates. She doesn't hang with the English Rock royalty. She pursues her two modest passions, cooking and gardening, reads, and tends to her dogs (one of which is named George). Christine has a music room on her property and described the songs she's been writing as "tougher and not as soft as in the past". "More brash and less careful". Interesting, huh? She sounded healthy and happy and didn't commit one way or the other about doing another record."

I wonder what the band will think of this? I mean, they can't be too upset because didn't Christine want to be involved with SYW, but Lindsey said no because she didn't want to tour? I just think it would be funny if Christine's album sold more then SYW. I'd like to see what Lindsey would do if that happened!

He would run up on stage and kick her!

It's not going to happen. But, it sure would be fantastic if it did. I'm not sure Lindsey's ego could handle that.
