Christine mention in Stevie article

[Aisling]

i don't think i've ever definitely read that chris was opposed to working on SYW. i know she didn't want to tour, but that's the extent of it. if everyone had been ok with the idea of her working on the album, but staying behind for the tour, i don't think we would have seen only 50% of chris showing up, especially since what she probably would have contributed would have been tracks that eventually showed up on ITM. i happen to think that album is dynamite, so i would have considered it a job well done on her part if they had happened to show up on fleetwood mac album as opposed to a solo record. of course we can only speculate until someone comes out and says definitely what the case was (she didn't want anything to do with the project vs. she didn't want to tour & the band decided not to allow her on the album). since stevie seems so candid these days, maybe she'll weigh in on what the real situation was eventually!

RE the idea of lindsey originally wanting her there, no, i don't think that's crazy. all of his talk about masculinity and rocking out and blah blah blah seems excessive (to put it mildly), and it wouldn't be far fetched to speculate that it's just to cover what he felt might be missing with chris absent. i have to believe that with all those two have worked on in the past, if he had really felt repressed by christine's artistic bent, it would have come out much sooner than SYW. all this stuff about being held back and now he can do what he really wants to do? if that's true, why would he have had her work on his solo stuff?
