My new favorite quote-- "And as for "talk of friction in the band". In this band? We've just floated through the years on a cloud of sweet contentment! "

oh goodness I do love that Mr. McVie.

I like how he puts certain things in quotations. It's so typical of him... A very "John thing" to do.

getting the part for "Come". That was one of Lindsey's "Brain teasers".
I don't know if he meant to tease people's brains...

I collect just stuff, too. We have something in common!

Thanks for the questions. We've just moved house. I realised that I collect STUFF. From basses, books, records, WW2, tools, marine artifacts,. STUFF. I've found Music newspapers going back to the John Mayall days! Just STUFF. One of these days I'll have to have a yard sale.

PLEASE, John, let us know if you do! LOL

Is it considered improper etiquette to ask for an autograph at a yard sale?

Thank you Lis. John is my husband.

LOL I know you have a crush on him, dearie.

FWIW I sent him the link to what the Q&A looks like, and told him that in the third picture down, he is smokin' hot. was that wrong of me, to be so bold?

Now I'm kind of embarrassed LOL.

I am drooling over just the thought of what music mags he must have collected over the years. I'd love to dig through his STUFF!-- the pictures, the articles....sigh. and he probably doesn't appreciate it in the way an obsessed fan like myself would!

John McVie is like a god. He is the most understated rocker you'll find.

I just saw him with Christine and Lindsey on an old outtake reel from 1982 when they were doing various promos for MTV. He sat down next to Chris and seductively whispered in her ear..."I want my MTV" to which the ex-Mrs. said..."you should be so lucky" while flicking her cigarette ash.

Oh, those crazy McVies! LOVE IT!!!

The best compliment I can pay John is that he is the real thing. He's a musician in it, still, for the music. It seems he can't be bothered with all the bull***t this business includes which is commendable. He seems totally unaffected by all the things virtually all artists fall victim to when they become successful. I think John still plays with the same feeling he did in the early days. Put him on a small stage in front of 30 people or in front of a million and he is still the same honest player. It's a rare thing these days.

John is not a fake, or a showman, he's the real deal.

I saw the question, 35 shows and immediately knew it was you.

Yes! Or at least it yielded my favorite answer of this batch. The Lindsey-John dynamic is tough for me to imagine, but I like knowing that John thinks of the basslines for some of Lindsey's songs as "brain teasers." John's so down-to-earth, while Lindsey so often has head in the clouds (or up his ass, depending on who you talk to), I imagine they have a lot of fun when they come together musically, even if they occasionally have a tough time sussing out what the other wants to do.
