For them it's all about the unpredictability, where a woman can seemingly go from "cute, sweet and quiet" to full-on "Lorena Bobbitt" mode almost instantaneously.

But one of the women was a known quantity. They knew she wasn't the Lorena Bobbitt type. It was John chasing her down with a knife, not the other way around. I mean, it's good to consult her, but as another member of the group, not as a WOMAN. I realize that when Christine was working in the department store, she didn't have much use for the women she worked with, but I'm sure there are lots of men she didn't like. Mick should have consulted her about bringing Dave Mason aboard. Maybe her and Dave working full time together may have been worse than her and another woman.

Redbird mentioned John and Lindsey and it's annoying to me that when they all remember 1975, Mick really doesn't say much about them or about the tension that he and Stevie may have created in the band (not only with Lindsey, but with Jenny too, who was around them). He just likes to get nostalgic and recall how he knew there would be nothing worse than two women snapping at each other.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing how Stevie incorporates Christine into her Without You intro for the London shows.
