Glad you laughed. But Barry doesn't write or dictate fiction.

Thanks.

And you can bet she doesn't like to share any of the attention.

Doesn't the Mirage video show her handing some stuffed animal
or flowers to Christine? As if to say, "hold this while I greet my fans".

Chris ALWAYS gets the center space on every stage she is. The moment she wants it, it's hers alone.

Conspiracy theories can be a fun read, but a significant portion of humanity puts too much faith in them - even when it comes to voting.

My story is made up of some truth.
But it was told mostly because I'm a
little tired of the they should do this -
they should do that threads. Plus when
one looks at the time it was written, I
should have been in bed. Insomnia helps
me write as much as Barry does.

It wasn't meant to trick anyone.

If I were serious and I rarely am, I'd say after
seeing John in the most recent pictures that
I wish Fleetwood Mac would just retire and
enjoy the rest of their lives.

I don't need another album from them.

That's just me. As I'm not speaking for
Rusty, Alec or Barry.

I actually think "The Ballad of The Queen and The Blonde" is very well written. I LOVED reading it!

HOWEVER, although I have been a little frustrated with Stevie lately, I don't think that she holds ANY jealousy toward Christine. While I'm sure they ARE NOT BEST friends, I think they have a pleasant, cordial relationship. Chris is so non-threatening, it would be hard to be jealous of her. In reality, Stevie's REAL ISSUE with returning to the Fleetwood Mac fold lies with ONE PERSON ALONE---Lindsey Buckingham. BOTTOM LINE--- Stevie and Lindsey just don't get along, folks! What's more, they know exactly how to push each other's buttons, and do so RELENTLESSLY.

Moreover, while on TOUR, I really don't think the band members spend all that much time together when they are NOT on stage or the airplane.

Now that is a saying that I wholeheartly agree with!

of Fleetwood Mac get more than she bargained for with
the return of Christine McVie?

Rock 'n Roll is all about ego. And in this case the Queen's
eclipses the rest of the band all put together. Of course this
is nothing new to the rabid fans of the group.

Her ascendance to this position after the success of the
Rumours album. And her crowning after the Bella Donna
album gave her all the power.

She only showed weakness when her drug use debilitated
her. And her former lover in his one moment of triumph
over her and the band left in desperation to keep his sanity.

Even in her darkest hours of extreme weight gain, lethargic
concert performances and making the worst music of her life,
the ego propelled her on. Until even the fans had had enough.
Then she finally abandoned the ship which she helped run aground.

With no where to go the Queen jumped at the chance to appear
with her former band mates at a political convention. And as the
video from that night reveals she should have made a better choice
at choosing a wellness center instead of center stage on prime time
TV. Ego sometimes gives one a distorted view of themselves. And
sometimes it's the opposite of what one would think. While some
think worse of themselves, others think they're so great everyone
will accept or more importantly will still love them.

Years go by and with a little weight loss and more control over the
substances that abused her body there's a chance at something good
again. There's nothing like time that makes needy fans appreciate and
maybe see things in a different light. Almost like a magic act. You know
it's not real, but you so want to believe it that you suspend belief. We
see what we want to see. The Dance was this magic.

The Dance, Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame induction and a semi-successful
solo album infused her with all the ego she needed to carry her through
Say You Will and the subsequent greatest hits tours.

Back to her old self she willingly threw her band mates, most especially
the one that crafted her songs under the bus. And of course made sure
the public knew about her old flames - the ones she truly loved. It didn't
matter that her stories changed over the years. We still believed.

If only the Queen had a friend to help her control her antagonist. Perhaps
if the Blonde would return. Then the women could make things like they
were before. And the Blonde knew her place. On that there was no argument.

But here's where the story turns. What the Queen hadn't figured was how
much the Blonde would be loved when she returned. A few nights an ego
can take. But at over a year's worth of touring, ego can turn green.

What's the Queen to do? With her power she holds the others hostage
once again. The Blonde won't be the one appreciated on the next tour
or album. It will be the Queen once again - and only the Queen. If time
doesn't run out.

Wow, he hit the nail on the head......................

Well said and well read. Seems like the King and Queen will never get along and the Court Jester is just trying to keep things together for the sake of his own ego and more importantly, his own pocket book.
