Thank you!
"She did resent that he sold more solo albums than she was able to do." MEOW!! Guess there's really no love lost there. It is a two way street though, but I doubt Christine will ever speak on the matter. Interesting that she said Chris was the only person with "unresolved tension" in the band. |

I'm a bit skeptical. Christine never seemed jealous or resentful of Stevie's success, so why Bob's?

BECAUSE he was suing them over royalties(at the time) that they hadn't paid him!

If she didn't want him in the RRHOF, I think it was probably because she thought he falsely accused her of cheating him, not because she wished she'd enjoyed the solo success he had. That claim seems rather spurious, especially when you consider the timing. Bob's last solo success came in 1979. How is it likely that she would be bummed that her album didn't do as well as his when hers came out years after? "Man, I'm sure fuming because Gotta Hold On Me and my album have tanked and I cannot reach the heights Bob attained five years ago!" Why would she even think to compare her solo efforts to his, when his peak was long over by that time? It's not like Christine rushed to put out her own album to try to compete with him. She only did a second solo album because of the break in FM action. I don't think solo success was an aspiration of hers. Although we do know that she admitted minding never having a number 1 single ala dreams. I don't think she thought solo success was favorable to success within the band. I think it is more probable she might only be envious if, for instance, she had never had a single within FM that did as well as Ebony Eyes. But turns out, she did have one or, er, two.

Obviously, while I understand Christine's anger with Bob, if I had been Wendy in 1998, I would have been furious with and deeply hurt by Christine at the time and I see where she's coming from. But at this point it's time to let it go. You don't have to forget or forgive, but maybe stop posting things that don't make a lot of sense. Michele |

I entirely doubt the veracity of Wendy's post. While it is likely Christine resented Bob for suing the band, I don't think her opinion in and of itself would make or break the decision of the RRHOF not to include him. Even if Bob had posted this I would have questioned its accuracy.
Moreover, I don't think she cared a hoot how much or little her 1984 album sold in comparison with French Kiss, which only sold as well as it did because it was riding the wave of Rumours. I love Bob's music, I love his contribution to the Mac. I am just trying to keep it real: she had no reason whatsoever to be jealous of him. If Bob released French Kiss in 1984, it would have sold 74 copies. |

Well, the truth is, Bob could be a little controversial in his postings too. Maybe exaggerated a bit and Wendy seems to be like him. You just have to choose what to believe and not believe. Michele |
