Then, I hear Steal Your Heart Away and realize logic aside, it was a mistake because that song is pure Rumours era Mac and it is delightful in part because of CM's voice.

In the end, I say if La Nicks is resigned never to having a hit single again due to the reasons she has cited (kids lying on the floor smoking dope waiting for the next FM record ) -- then why not let CM record -- what do they in reality have to lose compared to the potential gain.

But, maybe now CM would not record with them. After all, that was over seven years ago and she officially left in 97.

I seem to remember John saying something to effect that if she wasn't willing to "work" the album i.e. tour then there was no point in her recording. It seemed to me that on the last tour they "worked" Rumours more than SYW but hey that's just my opinion.

I don't know that Christine would even be willing to record with them again. It's been 4 years since ITM so perhaps she's had enough of recording as well as touring. I think it's very simple though. If she does want to record with them again she tells Mick exactly what it would take and Mick says "yes Chris"

I have a feeling that she's done with it all now. I do hope I'm wrong but that's my opinion.
