Did FMac ever do a song in which Lindsey, Christine AND Stevie trade off verses (a la "1999," "Fascination," Sly stuff)?

Duuuude! it's third-string prog rock!  But Yes on the downside of their '70s peak still beats '80s Yes going away.  VHM "Going For the One".

LQTM: Just as "She's Always a Woman" came on, I was reading a story at CNN.com with the headline "Olympic athletes tested ... for gender."

WOS: "What's Your Name."  Blecch.

The record company said "Bonnie, why can't you remake an oldie like Ronstadt does?" So Bonnie did it HER way.

for most of the '70s and '80s she was sorta the Thinking Man's Ronstadt -- fine, tastefully produced LPs and a cult following.  Nick of Time changed that, and she's been coasting (tastefully) ever since.

I suppose so.  She has (had?) a good voice, and I acknowledge she can play guitar pretty well, but I find myself turning the dial more often than not..   She's local to the Bay Area in some way, correct? 

I could look at her hair all day, though.
