I had considered the possibility that Chris instigated the scheme, what with her being the oldest and frailest and, if nothing else, probably just looking to offload items in storage in the US. But Chris is not very proactive, whereas Mick is all entrepreneurial. Even if from appearances it was Chris' "idea", I guarantee that all along Mick was whispering guidance in her ear like Wormtongue having his chats with King Theodin.

Oh, yes, this is all textbook Mick. But then Christine has always gone along with his choices and supported them. He has a certain power over her. Her loyalty to him goes beyond just being bandmates and lifelong friends: she has put herself and her reputation on the line for him many times: —she followed Mick and John to LA (which turned out well, but it was a risk) —she agreed to carry on without Lindsey in 1987, 1990, and 1995, despite not feeling the new lineups were as good without him —she did The Dance tour —she went on the 2028-2019 tour with imposters —she’s always been the dutiful soldier and taking the party line. And now this…. |

I mean, she's loyal to THE card carrying IDIOT of FM history. Maybe it's pity loyalty...

I donÂ’t care that they are selling this stuff, itÂ’s theirs to sell.
ItÂ’s only collecting dust in some storage facility. But they should donate at least a percentage of the proceeds. Hang on Â….IÂ’ve just read a portion of the proceeds will go to MusiCares If Mick is in need of money Christine and John should help him out. Would they have been so rich and famous without him? I doubt it. |

It's fascinating that Stevie and Lindsey aren't taking part in this.

How can they still need money? What on earth are they doing with it?
This does feel to me like the end of the band as going concern. Of course they could still get together and play without any of this stuff, but it just looks like a winding down. At least Lindsey and Stevie are still out there, even with diminished powers. But it's sad to watch this epic band fading away. |

I do understand the need to purge, and I do think it shows that the end is here(or very near). It is sad watching them fade away. They should have called it another lonely day after BuckVie, when the old goat got Lindsey fired. That WAS the end.

Mick is, and has always been, the idiot who wants to live like Stevie, when he probably makes 5% of what she does.

This is connected to Lindsey's firing. If Mick did not have this mindset, he would not let Stevie lead him around on a leash. He only cared about her ticket sales draw and not about the legacy of the band. If he was not like this, its possible it might not have happened. Which is why he is so nice to Lindsey these days. He wants him back for another reunion tour. Every step he makes is calculated in where the next dime is coming from. Its sad and how a drug addict thinks. Where is your next hit coming from?

Mick, unlike Chris and John, has multiple kids, (grandkids?) and who knows what his settlement with his last ex-wife was in terms of payout and/or alimony/child support. Those girls were still pretty young when they split and he'll be supporting them for years to come. However he also just sold his catalog for a decent sum.... And he said at the time that getting that money now, in one lump, would allow him to do things he wants to do that otherwise he'd have to wait longer to do (presumably because he'd have to get the band to do another tour or two to rake in that money otherwise). Does anyone recall what he got for his publishing?? Giving him a lump sum is like giving an addict the key to the medicine cabinet. John likes a nice life, he's just quieter about it. A few years back the real estate columns had stories about him buying a house in the LA area for his daughter in a nice area....so he has expenses of his and his wife's lifestyles and habits, and his kid. Chris has no such obligations. Now, she may be supporting in some way various family members and friends and hangers on... Bottom line is, if any of these fools don't have enough to live out their lives on, they deserve what they get.... and maybe should question the nimrods they have managing their investments.

Apart from anything else, this is evidence- if indeed it were needed- that it's over. For this, I'm sad.

Maybe John discussed the auction with Stevie at the Hollywood Bowl this week. "Got a cape you don't want Stevie?"
