Acerca de esta escucha
In this revealing portrait of keyboardist, lyricist, and vocalist Christine Mcvie of Fleetwood Mac, readers will get an exclusive glimpse of the band's "mother figure".
Christine McVie–born Christine Perfect–was the quintessentially English rock star, as both the backbone and the beating heart of Fleetwood Mac. She wrote and performed many of their greatest hits, and was dubbed 'the mother' of the band. It was Christine who contained the flock, regrouped them when they went AWOL, and always got them back on track. And yet, as the "engine" of the band during their Rumours era–an album which charted the romantic disintegration within the band–Christine's personal life was every bit as tempestuous as those of her bandmates.
Told by an author who herself was friends with Christine, and with new contributions from those who knew her best, Songbird offers a true insider's view and psychological insight into Christine as a both a woman and a musician––the ultimate picture of a rock legend and a national treasure.

"Surely make you lose your mind . . ." So the Eagles warn us about the outrageous and ruthless lifestyle of the ambitious rock-n-roller. In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to the track "Life in the Fast Lane" when they were recording it. He was so high that it made him sick. The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in the road behind them.

Charlie Watts was one of the most decorated musicians in the world, having joined the Rolling Stones, a few months after their formation, early in 1963. A student of jazz drumming, he was headhunted by the band after bumping into them regularly in London’s rhythm and blues clubs. Once installed at the drum seat, he didn’t miss a gig, album or tour in his 60 years in the band.

In the spring of 1980, an unexpected group of musical eccentrics came together to play their very first performance at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few short years, they had taken over the world–with smash records like Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster and Green. Raw, outrageous, and expressive, R.E.M.’s distinctive musical flair was unmatched, and a string of mega-successes solidified them as generational spokesmen.

Absolutely nothing new and it was just poorly written unfortunately. Fleetwood Mac fans will be disappointed.

annoying narrator
rambling and uninformative. The narrator’s tone and cadence sounds like she’s reading a children’s book. I had to keep reminding myself what the book was about.

What a complete story!
I loved the timeline. As much as I loved her and loved her harmonies I identified with her as the behind the scenes kind of gal. Although kind of long in detail many times I had to stop and take notes of songs I hadn’t downloaded yet. What class to put aside betrayal of a close friend…Not easy to do. I followed The Mac since Bare Trees and her
Voice just got stronger and better. Perfect is the best word for her💕

I couldn't wait
I couldn't wait to get this book because I thought it would tell the story of Christine McVie. instead, it told all this tabloid stuff that has already been proven as lies, and she got so many dates wrong it's unreal. It seems like the author detested Christine and told more about the history of England than Christine. Also, she seems to hate Stevie Nicks with a passion. Why would you write a book about people you hate? can I get my money back for this?
