Yeah, I definitely don't get that vibe from Chris, either. If any of them experimented, you'd have to wonder if it was Stevie. So many of her songs have been about women, and she's lived with multiple women under her roof for almost all of her adult life. I don't know that she's really been known to have been in a relationship with a man the past 20 years, either. I'm not saying she's bisexual, but if there's evidence of any member of Fleetwood Mac swinging both ways, it'd probably be Stevie.

As someone who lives in Southeast England, I have to say that her idea of "isolation" might be misleading to some fans from larger, less crowded countries. I promise, nowhere in Kent is very far from anywhere. 50% of it is basically gobbled up by Greater London at this point. It may be far from where she wants to be, but the impression given is that she's way out in the boonies, and I think that's a misrepresentation.

I really did enjoy this interview, and the corroboration between the two ladies comments. But it did make me a bit sad to read as well. I was under the impression that Christine was very happy and doing exactly what she wanted, and to hear otherwise is a real downer. I hope she rejoins the band and finds her bliss asap, anyway.

I just checked Google Maps... looks like Christine's village is what, 60-70 miles outside central London? That's a long ways, especially with those tiny, winding, narrow English lanes. The woman lives behind massive walls in a village so tiny that it doesn't even have a grocery store, either. I can see how after 15 years, she'd feel very isolated.
