In all fairness, that's not what was said. It's about staying on topic, not completely cutting out other band members in the thread. When the focus becomes about Stevie, a thread gets derailed, and for members (or non members) coming in to read about Christine, that's frustrating to find post after post that's not about the topic at hand. Feel free to mention Stevie all you want... but the focus of the thread is about Christine's return. That being said...

As far as Stevie goes (and this is where I have a problem with CM returning) Chris' all of the sudden wanting back in the band will have a big impact on Stevie's career...Stevie has spent the last few years busting her butt to be where she is right now...She's more well known and popular now than she has been in quite a while and FM is benefitting from her success as well...Sorry but I don't think it's right that Stevie has spent years building up her career so she can end on a high note and then Christine comes along and decides she wants to cash in on Stevie's & FM's recent popularity

I don't think Christine's return to Fleetwood Mac will affect Stevie's recent success whatsoever. I think that ball lies in Stevie's court anyway... if Stevie wants Chris back, then why is it (or does it) have to be a bad thing? You spoke of Stevie's recent success, and of her building her career back up... Chris's return cannot affect Stevie's career negatively. There are people who love Fleetwood Mac but don't like Stevie solo... Also, what success are you talking about? Album sales? Because In Your Dreams didn't exactly set the world on fire.

Fleetwood Mac is a separate entity, and as a whole (the five of them), they have much more power, buzz, and charisma. Look at Say You Will... if you base it purely on sales, it came nowhere near what The Dance did. I think that's for obvious reasons - take Chris out of the equation and the core of the band becomes skewed. I have always felt that since her absence they've been trying to become Fleetwood Mac again, and haven't quite reached the goal line.

Also, this doesn't feel like Chris cashing in either. She said in the article that she realized after 15 years of living alone that it wasn't what she wanted at all... she misses her bandmates. I don't think money even enters into it at this point, and when it does, I'd imagine it's the least of all her reasons.
