Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so am plopping it here.

1993 presser at the Virgin Megastore with Lindsey, Christine, John and Mick just a week or so before the inaugural performance for Clinton. They are also promoting the boxed set. They claim Stevie is not there because she's under the weather.

When asked Chris says she's honored Clinton picked her song, while Mick says "She's a Republican!" He says he would have voted for Clinton if he were eligible to vote in the US. Chris actually says she would have as well. John says he DID vote as he does have US citizenship, but doesn't reveal who he voted for. Lindsey says he also voted but doesn't really say who for.

Interesting to hear Christine talk several times about her desire to continue her pursuit of a solo career, and how she's already made it known to the band she really wasn't keen to do any more big tours with the band.

Lindsey gets asked about the difference in sales between his solo work and FM, and says that's not really the goal for the solo work. He also gets asked about Mick's book and with Chris watching with interest Lindsey says people have to do what they have to do, and while some of it may not have been what he would have written about, and that he addressed some in one of his songs, but ultimately it is what it is and that there are no hard feelings with Mick and in fact they've been hanging out together in the studio. At one point while LB is answering Chris says something to John about "one is...(something) and one is accurate" but not sure just what she's referring to.

LB says he left after an album but before a tour thinking that would be easiest for the others i.e., to find players to join on the road and then be able to take that new lineup into the studio later. He saw the Clinton gig as a way to get a sort of "closure" they didn't get when he left.
