Finding out that Christine kept Bob Welch out of the R&RHOF broke my heart, and shows me how tough(and vindictive) she can be. It's still a fantasy to meet her, but I'd be very nervous that she might "go off" on me.

There's no question that Bob Welch deserved to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But if indeed Christine was the primary reason why he was blocked (this explanation is only one of many, no matter what Wendy Welch said), then Bob had only himself to blame. You don't sue your former bandmates and then expect them to embrace you in a career-spanning honor. You just don't. He knew copyright law, so his reasons for suing were likely legitimate, but that's neither here nor there. I'll bet Fleetwood and the McVies saw Bob's lawsuit as an ironically cruel echo of Clifford Davis's. But then this has all been discussed before. I just don't think her role in Bob's not being inducted is a clear-cut indication of her temperament. Much more telling are Ken Caillat's anecdotes about Christine's sarcasm, which can be corroborated by our own viewing of her on several YouTube clips over the years.
