Chris was 1/3 of the rhythm section & 1/3 of the front line. Both GREATLY suffer without her, in my opinion. |

I can't imagine he talks like this in real everyday life. I can't imagine anyone talking like this normally.

my take on that is that he didn't mean that in a negative way, just that he is glad she's doing what makes her happy & not staying with the band just for the sake of the band.

I do not think any of them were angry with her for leaving. Like Stevie said, she lived up to her obligation during The Dance and called it quits. She had been talking about retiring long before that and had in fact retire from the touring part of the band In the end, she was a very integral part of FM and is missed. Does that mean FM is less good without her - who knows. I think it is just different. I mean FM has been many different groups of people and they all had something good to offer IMO. |

My understanding of the Lindsey/Chris thing is that she really was someone who would stand up to him, and perhaps could not be emotionally manipulated, as perhaps Stevie could? Perhaps that sounds a little harsh, but I always got the impression that if Chris thought something, she said it, and perhaps that didn't go down too well when Lindsey was in his more 'experimental' phases.
I remember reading that Bob Welch felt similarly, on a Q&A here, that Chris could be quite frank (and in his words 'sarcastic') if she didn't like a song idea. Also, I just don't think they had much of a personal connection. Yes, I think they respected each others' musical skill, but Chris is far too down-to-earth for any of his pseudo-intellectualism IMHO.

I miss her too, but I try to look at it for what it is, which is not the sound of that Rumors line up. I think most can't get past that and keep thinking FM should sound like that, which they cannot without CM. Sort of like LB will never be Peter, who will never be Bob Welch, and so on. But, yes, on the SYW tour, her playing and singing on FM's songs was sorely missed.

Agreed, but the respect was definitely musical. I don't think it was real friendship. Chris said in 92 she didn't really consider herself a close friend of his, since she didn't think he had 'close' friends.

Didn't Bob Weston make some remarks about her? Something like "she used be quite shy but now she uses her fame as a weapon" Some blokes just can't take strong women Gail |
