Keeping Secrets
I thought this Chris comment from an interview that GOS posted above was amusing:

She could have done a few intimate solo shows, within driving distance of her home, to promote 'In the Meantime,' but she didn't.
I think we won't see Christine on stage again. (Boo hoo hoo.) But then again, nobody expected 'In the Meantime' and she surprised us with a truly great album. So ... never say never.

She is old now. But I don't think she had all those fears in the 70s. Not that strong at least. I think his husband (John) should realize if that was true. Fears grow when you get older. My aunt used to travel alone. Since she was in her late 60s, she was afraid of airports where nobody speaks spanish, something she never was afraid of before. So i think it's true except for the "keeping big secrets from us all the many years"

She clearly doesn't enjoy flying but she managed to fly to the US to promote ITM so it can't be that bad that it actually stops her.
Also I've seen quotes where she said she doesn't like sleeping in a different bed each night. That combined with a fear of flying would make touring a nightmare. I think she's content with her life now. she make some music if she feels like it but there's no pressure to make an album. She clearly doesn't need the money (although I bet she's worth less now than she used to be) and clearly doesn't feel the need to be "unleashed" anymore. Gail |

This doesn't really surprise me. She sort of hinted about this in that "Return of the Native" ITM interview a few years back. I also think she had a problem with stage fright too, plus the insomnia problem on the road and her fear of earthquakes. I think she probably always had these problems but age made them worse and alcohol helped. Now she no longer drinks. It's no wonder she wanted to move back home to England and a much more quiet, normal life.

Is Stevie forgetting that Chris originally wanted to retire in like, 1970? I don't think she has ever liked touring.

It's true: Christine had been calling it quits for decades before she called it quits. But at the height of the band's fame (1976-1980) I'm sure the lure of big money, all the cocaine, the private jets, and all the distractions helped mitigate the drag of touring.
In his book, Mick talks about how the band by 1978 hated touring for Rumors. I imagine Christine was the most vocal about that. |

Gail,
When someone posts their performance of SYLM, I want you to listen to Stevie's lyrics, because you made me laugh so much about Don't Stop. I don't even have any idea what Stevie said. I just know I opened my mouth to sing along and then found I wasn't hearing anything familiar. There was nothing to grasp onto. But then, Lindsey did the second verse which turned out all right, except he thinks he has to act out the words which -- unless you're going for comedy -- is not necessary. But the chorus was good and rousing to me. And there's not another living soul around. Michele |

For SYLM, rather than having mercy on a girl, it was more along the lines of requesting pity for a fool. So, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a song by Christine or one by Mr. T.
