Christine Mcvie, 1977.

Like flowers need the rain

Stevie said that once … it was somewhere upon Christine‘s returning to the band around 2013.

This hits even harder now.

The way Stevie told the story of how Chris called her, asking if she might come back into the band, at EVERY single show they did. She was so excited to have her big sister back. You can genuinely tell. The way she just screams “SHE‘s BAAAAAACK“.

I‘m repeating myself but their bond is so special.

RIP, Christine.

Felt inspired to express some of what she meant to me, to my Musical Pantheon in that way I do, an improvisation of feeling into music, by heart.  .

Never done this kinda thing before, so “Howdy...this is me.”

The very first Christine McVie song I ever heard, back in ‘72,

Spare Me A Little Of Your Love

"Opera is silly because things never happen like that in real life."

Romy Schneider as Christine Weiring in CHRISTINE (1958, dir. Pierre Gaspard-Huit)

I love that SNW hyposprays can be delivered

to the shoulder (like in TOS)

or to the neck (like in TNG).

Therefore implying possible health care provider choice for hypospray placement and methodology … which makes this even funnier:

As much as I 100% agree with everyone who argues that we should have gotten more screentime for the women of TOS (Commanders Chapel and Rand) or for Saavik and David, I feel the character who got done dirtiest by the movies was Dr. Marcus.

She was such an interesting character, both in terms of her relation to Kirk and her goals with Project Genesis. She absolutely could have grown and been one of the best TOS era characters ever if given more development in future films, but no. We don't even see her in Search for Spock. The movie where her damn son dies. And she didn't even come back in Undiscovered Country?? The movie where David's death is a pivotal piece of Kirk's character arc??

Apparently she was supposed to appear in Search for Spock, but they snipped her out of the movie seemingly for budget cuts, and because she was "extraneous" which feels like such a shitty thing to do to the character, in a movie with a plotline set on Genesis (which she created) that features the death of her son. Her actress, Bibi Besch apparently was very disappointed that we never got any sort of closure with Marcus, and she's damn right! Apparently she was supposed to be in Generations but was cut out because... idk we can't have nice things?? (Also not the movie's fault, but the fact she passed on only two years after being cut from Generations feels so unfair to Besch. Rest in peace.) Also nobody bring up Into Darkness. I haven't seen it, but I already know they did her real dirty in that one.

Christine McVie, 1967.

Me, running off to watch this performance again:

Besties, can I show you my fave?

It’s from November 14, 2022 and it’s quoting Songbird by Fleetwood Mac, masterpiece by beloved Christine McVie. I ignored it at first because I thought it was a posthumous tribute, but she died weeks later and no one knew she was sick at this point, including her BFF Stevie Nicks.

This? Posted just before what was scheduled to be the final night on LA (about 24 hours before their publicists released the “OW-HS have parted ways” story).

And the conversation continues…

Who could you be talking about, Lighthouse Keeper? Not the woman you’re about to publicly cut loose.

This? Three weeks after Midnights is released. And we know he’s heard it (and Question..?) because he quotes THIS:

A few days before Harrywe’en. Not the UK usage of ‘cos here too. Which makes sense, for a resident of Eroda…

Rest In Peace Christine. My heart is absolutely crushed 💔

Christine Boisson died yesterday. She was a very serious case of an actress who was never taken seriously. Magnetic, inscrutable and dangerously vulnerable, Philippe Garrel immortalized her in his gallery of magnetic, inscrutable and dangerously vulnerable women.
