I´m sure there there were times when i´m flying around the stage in my gossamer chiffon where she had to think to herself,wow,what´s this? Fairy school?
But never once did she make me feel like that,never one comment to the effect of "i could really have done without you" "

That was one of the parts that Sylvie Simmons lifted from her earlier interview with Stevie. Stevie actually said that back in '81 for the "Gates of Elmo" print interview.

I had never seen a mention of Christine and Stevie having less than very good relationship, until on this board.
I find it very sad to think that fans of Fleetwood mac would try to make it look like there was some kind of bad blood between them.
When they´ve said they were sanctuaries to each other during the hard times.

Yeah, but to be fair to the fans, Chris herself has made some like observations over the years. A long time ago, she told a reporter that she & Stevie hung out together a lot in the '70s, but after that didn't see each other much because they lived two different lifestyles or something. Chris said she always loved Stevie's sense of humor, but that lately (i.e., "lately" back then in the '80s) Stevie seemed to Chris to be taking herself too seriously.

It seems the two of them grew apart as Stevie's star rose as a solo performer. It seems understandable to me: When I think of the other members of FM, I can't think of many people who associated with them or befriended them -- you know, a few recognizable names & faces. But in Stevie's case, we fans can list literally dozens of people in her ever-expanding circle. (Mick is the only one from Fleetwood Mac whom I ever considered to be part of that circle.)
