Thanks for posting all these great videos.
Christine is driving me nuts with her Think About Me intro.
First it was "this was a single that didn't do terribly well." Now its "This was a single but I don't think anyone has heard it."
What?
It was a hit single from Tusk peaking at 20 in the USA on an album that sold millions of copies.

Right! Think About Me was a familiar hit on the radio. Not only was the song featured on Tusk, it's on The Chain box set, as well as their Very Best compilation.

I think its a sign of her depression to talk like that......to almost imply the song was not a hit and she should take no credit.

Seven Wonders hit #18. Can you imagine Stevie saying......"this next song was a single but it did not do well and you probably never heard it before."

Rock bands would kill for a song to hit #20 on Billboard.

Memo to Chris: You had most of the hits with Fleetwood Mac. At least 3 in the top 5, others in the top 10 (including solo), many others from #11 to #20. And more in the top 40.

Not necessarily a sign of depression- but I do think her self effasing modesty might be getting a bit worse. Anyway, by her high standards #20 isnt a major hit so I can understand why she might feel that way.

Well, to some extent, I think Chris is just being wry. Yes, she's self-effacing, but she's also a wise cracker, which is why she introduced that up and coming young drummer so sweetly.

You are probably right.
I also don't believe Chris's 2004 solo album is in the pits of hell

yes. it's also a cultural difference. just watch any Colin Firth interview for example. he will characterize himself as just a jobbing actor who got lucky or something to that effect. self-effacing modesty and expecting others to recognize your value is very typical in a lot of european cultures. here in the US, it's almost like people have to tour their own horn for others to recognize them.

nothing to do with depression.

Very much a cultural difference in my opinion and I think it's her dry sense of humour that I would love to hear more of if I knew her personally. The Brit humour goes down well in Australia and people laughed as she cracked those jokes about TAM each night.
