Some still seem to think that's when they only really got started

(Now before you get started Chili, YES I know about Peter Green! )

& thank god for moms with great record collections! Because when I became a fan in 1990, the Mac was still perceived as very very uncool. Not that I ever understood what "cool" was anyway

To think I thought the band was done after Bob Welch left!

You mean they're still around?

Not to beat a dead horse, but I've give anything for another Welch/McVie album(drool........).

[QUOTE=Johnny Stew]Well, it peaked at #43 on Billboard's singles chart... just missing the Top 40... so it's not exactly one of FM's biggest hits, unfortunately. But it's a terrific song, nonetheless, and deserves to be played often!

Yeah it sadly peaked at #43...I remember calling radio stations in Phoenix at the time trying to get it to go higher, to no avail. But remember this: ALAYF was a #1 hit on the Adult Contemporary Billboard chart, and that's pretty impressive

I would say that Chris was closer to Stevie than Billy given all the time the two ladies spent in the band together AND the history and the girl talk they shared during the Rumours sessions. They also seemed to be VERY tight during the two non-LB tours (Shake the cage, Behind the Mask).

I just don't see Christine and Stevie being buddy-buddy. That's not to say that they have a bad relationship. I think they had a very friendly relationship, and were probably close early on, but I think after the whole "Rumours" album and tour were behind them, their releationship was mostly professional. I don't think they'd be close if they didn't have Fleetwood Mac. Christine and Billy were buddy-buddy prior to his involvement in Fleetwood Mac, and appeared to have a great relationship, even during the "Time" years. I've never read Christine say a bad thing about Billy, and vice versa (but I haven't heard Billy say too many bad things about anybody in the first place). I can't necessarily say the same about Stevie and Christine.

I agree. Stevie has said that Chris is her best friend, but she hasn't seen her in almost seven years? C'mon now.

Mick said exactly the same thing about Christine & Stevie in a Goldmine interview around 10 years ago. They didn't dislike each other, but they were no longer close friends. They just grew apart over the years after the Rumours tour. Rick Vito also said something similar in his Q & A here on this website. But, I have an interview CD in which Christine speaks of Billy as one of the nicest people she's ever known, very easy to get along with. You could see they were great friends during all those interviews that they did to promote the Greatest Hits & Behind The Mask albums.

Just like any friendship, they had there ups and downs. They were very close in the beginning and as drugs and fame took over they both had there own agendas and problems. Christine was Stevie's maid of honor at her wedding. The song Think About It was written for Christine. So there was for sure a bond at certain points.

Christine has said they don't go shopping together and have had a few "tiffs". But they have a great deal of respect for each other.
