Could you IMAGINE Cm and John interacting like that onstage

But, even they are/were not above hauling out the drama to sell The Dance in the tv press before it.

I say good for them all as it got us 10 more years of great music.

YMLF is one of my most loved Christine-penned Mac tunes. The music, the lyrics, the tempo, the vocals - superb. I feel a hint of a disco vibe to it - but it's not a "disco" or "dance" song, it's still a definite rocker. Many artists made similar attempts at this, but failed miserably - Rod's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" and the horrid "I Was Made For Loving You" by Kiss come to mind - I wish I could forget them. But YMLF is fantastic; modern & current when it was released, a classic now. And it's sexy as hell.

Love love love older live versions of it, Stevie's backup harmonies perfectly compliment Chris's lead vocal. "and I'm beGINNING to wonder whyyyyy.......I've a FEELING it's time to tryyyy....." Second only to their vocal fabulousness on Rhiannon & Oh Daddy, IMO. Anyway, another thing that I love about it is the little musical break/jam in the middle. It's so tight, but sounds spontaneous to my ears. Love that although Lindsey does have a solo in there, it doesn't overshadow the other instruments at all, unlike some other songs. The thing I tend to play back in my head is actually Mick's drumming, the cymbals (I think.)

I love YMLF That song and "Over My Head" made me love Christine. I remembered hearing "Little Lies" "Everywhere" and "Don't Stop" as a child but I never knew it was FM/Christine. Before then I was mostly familiar with Stevie's songs. When I finally discovered from my Uncle who Stevie was and what group she was in I brought "The Very Best of FM." I would skip over some of Christine's songs (very ashamed to say that now but I have seen the light) but one day I let YMLF play through and I was like "damn I like this song." I started playing it to death and the rest is history.

I also love the older live versions where Stevie harmonies are better heard. I was just looking for the Rosebud performace of it on youtube the other night but it was taken off for copyright issues
