Another band member postponing a solo project for this tour is nowhere near as important to the general public as Christine rejoining the band after a decade and a half of retirement.

I detect a bit of jealousy among the Stevie diehards that Christine is doing something for this band that Stevie couldn't do.

I'm not jealous about anything. Unlike some, I am championing the whole band. I agree that Chris's return is the big news for this tour because now the band is complete.

You say Chris is doing something Stevie couldn't do, while I'm asserting the 5 fireflies are doing something no subset of 4 could do.

We're probably arguing way too much over something that is most likely a matter of semantics.

if you are honest, you'd say unlike most here, not some. rare people on this board are really championing the whole band. and no matter what people claim and whether they admit it to themselves or others, many posts speak pretty clearly on where certain people's preferences lay:

• most people here would be just as happy or not happpier if it would be only SN solo from now on.
• many people here would love nothing better than just BN, or if it has to be BN backed by FM; these people have been griping about CM's return for the last year.
• and then there are minority of people who'd love nothing better than LB solo. and then people who love any version of the band than has CM in it - whether FM 5, or Buckingham/McVie, or BM FM. and maybe people who'd prefer CM solo? etc etc.

No, I'm saying that, Christine doesn't return, this influx of interest and huge prices doesn't happen.
