Why don't they just have these guys become full-fledged members and drop the pretense of "hired guns"...how long do you have to be "in a band" before you actually are "IN THE BAND"???

So, instead of getting somebody like Sheryl Crow to "fill Christine's shoes" (which she wouldn't be doing anyway), just get Neale & Brett on board as official members. Then we all can go from here saying that it took "Two GUYS to replace Christine".

I agree Chili! I think it would be refreshing to let them be officially part of the Mac. I felt guilty when they were introduced and applauded but didn't really know who they are. The back up singers get more exposure then they do. (I think they are great also).......
