Allow me some space to point out that there are numerous new givers of “Everywhere” on YouTube. Since the song became the anthem of hybrid cars, dozens of singers and bands have posted their versions of the song, many of them astonishingly good. THAT, my friends, is a real tribute to Christine.

But did Prince ever send her a birthday cake? Because he sent Susanna Hoffs a birthday cake.

Here are some of those “Everywhere” covers—they range from carbon copy to dramatic reinterpretations

Did Robin roll in her grave when Stevie called Christine her best friend in the whole world? That is my question.

I think Stevie should sing, Brown Eyes..
One of my favourite Christine songs.
Very atmospheric.
Nice and easy for her to sing with backing singers, doing most of the work for her.

Oh my goodness. That should have happened every night. That speech of Stevie’s was Just. Too. Long.

Of course, if the other members had been smarter, they would have used reverse psychology. Right before a big number, with Stevie waiting to step up to her mic, one of them should have started telling a never-ending story about something — anything — from the Fleetwood Mac annals and just droned on forever with a serious face and done that every night until Stevie finally said, “I’ll shut up if you shut up.”

Another approach: After her long, boring speech, play her song at double speed whilst glancing at your watch.

Fleetwood Mac concerts were always best when they were the Battle of the Passive-Aggressives.

Passive aggressive pettiness is always the best revenge! Lindsey could’ve just recycled the cycles story and enhanced it to talk about the old AND the new cycles and how he has faith in them.

I don’t think they could speed us the songs anymore by that point. Physically not thinking most of them could handle anything more than a plodding dirge.

jbrownsir, I agree, the lyrics, music and her voice in 'Think About It' (Before You Go), were written to Christine, and say everything about her friendship with Christine at that time.

I believe Stevie respects Christine too much to try to cover any of her songs. She doesn't need to, anyway, because 'Think About It', is her dedication to Christine.

Not to mention that her back up orchestra would have to sing all the actual notes that Christine sang.

I thought she would have dug that one out for her 2016 Tour. It would be incredible if she brought it out this year.

As an aside, did you ever hear that a singer named Rusty Wier released Think About It in 1977? I'm not sure if the year he released it is true, but this link says Roy Bittan co-wrote it with Stevie.

Best comment in the thread. Can you imagine Stevie singing this? I can. It would be — wow.
