So 2 years after moving back home, she was writing again, which means the relationship with the "mystery man" wasn't a very long one. It has always struck me as strange that the songs weren't about Eddy. Her marriage/relationship with him lasted longer than any relationship that she's ever had. Yet ITM is about someone else. I still think there is a "mystery man", but I just think it's strange.

Stevie also mentioned that Christine was "going out with someone" and was "in love" so I think it's him.

I like the air of mystery and I like calling him the "mystery man"

I can't remember the whole thing because it was a long time ago, about the time they started making SYW.

Stevie was asked the usual Christine question and that was one of things she said.

sorry I can't be more specific

I specifically remember her saying that Chris was in love & that she was never coming back to Fleetwood Mac. I think the interview was done a little bit before SYW. I thought it was around the time of the release of Stevie's last solo album.

I like calling him the "Mystery Man" too.

ooh im intrigued, i didnt read many syw interviews, might go do that, thanks!

okay, sorry to sidestep the mystery man discussion, but I was wondering--out of pure GREED of course-- whether or not anyone knew of additional tracks that weren't on ITM. Whether or not anyone has a demo, somewhere...or at least knows the titles of the songs...

Here's hoping Christine falls in love again, falls tragically out of love quickly, and is inspired to write 12 more songs with her nephew.

Honestly, I don't see why she wouldn't do a covers album, just her at the piano playing some standards--pop, blues, or even a tinge of jazz. Or, she coould re-do a number of her songs for just her and the piano. Bet it would get even better reviews than ITM, too. Worse came to worse, she could throw a Christmas tune on it.

As of right now, there are 14 songs that we know of from ITM...the 12 songs on the album, plus this "new" song & accoustic Friend, which was an iTunes exclusive. There are more demos, outtakes, maybe extra songs, etc. on her nephew's computer. I WISH she'd let us hear them by releasing them on her website, if she doesn't ever want to record again.

I'd take anything(and I mean anything )that she'd want to give us. I know she loves the blues & jazz. That would really be something interesting & different.
