Wow. 79... I feel so old.
RIP
Oh no, RIP Christine. You had such a beautiful voice & spirit.
Weird I’ve been hearing some commercial with her singing a song “i want to be with you and you” from Fleetwood Mac. I had to look it up as I never heard the song before. It’s actually called “I want to be with you everywhere“. It bothers me as the vocal line doesn’t flow with saying “everywhere” at the end. Kind of ruins the melody. Weird I don’t remember ever hearing this song when it was first released when I was in high school in 1987. RIP Christy Mcvie.
She was planning on leaving Twitter so I heard.
It’s good to die surrounded by your family.
I really liked Fleetwood Mac back when Peter Green started the band and they were a part of the British blues scene.
My favorite Christine McVie song, Come a Little Bit Closer from the Heros are hard to find album

Stevie Nicks got all the attention, but Christine was a superior singer/musician IMO.
Loved her singing and her songwriting. Thank you Christine for your lovely music. God’s speed.
RIP, SongBird Lady.
Christine McVie, singing with the angels.
The British-American rock band was one of the most successful groups of all time...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
British-American bands are pretty rare now that I think about it (although of course it’s no surprise), but the ones that’ve existed have been some heavy hitters. There was the Jimi Hendrix Experience which was Hendrix plus a couple of Brits on bass and drums. Then you had Derek and the Dominos which was sort of the mirror image of that — Eric Clapton along with a bunch of Americans. There must have been others although I can’t think of any offhand.
I guess the odds of a British-American band being exceptionally good are better than average since it’s a fair amount of trouble to form one in the first place. You probably don’t even attempt it unless you’ve really got some exceptional musicians lined up.
