Christine interview - The Guardian, 10.06.16

I'm sure it's no accident Lindsey is silent. I think the band knows any pressure from Lindsey on Stevie is just going to send her running in the opposite direction. Good for Chris for turning up the heat, though.

I've heard lots of musicians/recording artists say they don't listen to their own stuff. People in the arts tend to pick apart their own work. I have a fine arts background and understand it a little bit. Other people will compliment your stuff, but all you can see are flaws, or things you wish you'd done differently.

It's not just musicians. Most actors say they never watch their own movies & tv shows for the same reasons.

Just one thought on all of the current posts on Mirage/new album(?)/tour/the four going out without Stevie etc..............who would have thought even a year ago that Christine would be the source/focus of so much information AND doing so many interviews?
I think that it's great and shows how committed she is to this band -almost like she's making up for lost time!

Who could not love this lady? Elegant is too mild. Great interview...I bet she's a boatload of laughs after a bottle of vino

Unlike the other b who is ruining there last chance to properly make a final statement.

Maybe they locked Lindsey up.

I have to disagree with Christine when she says the Mirage deluxe set is good value for your money.

If one of them is gone they're incomplete. Awww.
