Has Christine ever considered writing a book?

I'd pay a lot of money for a book by Christine. Thinking about it though I'd really welcome a book by John- just because he's the one we hear the least about and probably know least about. I bet he's got plenty of interesting stories, particularly from the early years. He was a rabble-rouser by the sounds of it. Unfortunately he's the least likely to write about as there'd be a very limited market for it.

One thing about John is he says he doesn't remember a lot of things. He said that he will hear Mick talking and that will bring up a memory that he himself had forgotten because of the liquor.

If Christine were to write a book, I'm sure it would be ghost-written by a professional writer, as most celebrity bios are.

Of course I'd like her to write a book. But she had all those years of retirement during which she would have had the time for it. I don't think she has the time for the next year or so to write a book.

The one unique subject, the one real "hook" that such a book could have, stems from the beginning of Christine's career. When she joined Chicken Shack and a few years later Fleetwood Mac, she was one of the very few women in music who sang, played, and wrote their own material in a mixed-gender band, on an equal footing with the guys in the band. As the band evolved around her, she continued to be an equal among equals in the band. I want to know how she accomplished this and what it was like to be in her situation. To me that is a much more interesting subject than the tell-all gossip that some fans seem to hunger for.

Wow, you hit the mark!. She certainly deserves to be considered as among other pioneers of that forefront.
What part of the Cape are you in? I grew up in Massachusetts.

I live in Pocasset (part of Bourne) about 5 miles from the Bourne Bridge. Grew up in Boston, summered in Wareham just on the other side of the Cape Cod Canal from where I am now.

If you look back at the posts I have written over the course of time, I am sure you would find many that mention Christine's pioneering role as a singing/songwriting/playing woman in a mixed-gender band. It's the one aspect of her career that never gets the notice it deserves. It drives me crazy! It's almost as if the world is saying: Okay, Chris, you can do this "man's job" and get away with it, just don't make a fuss over it. She could also smoke, drink, and swear with the guys, too, from what I understand.
