Point taken. And in my defense, I reread my post and thought, “That could describe Christine, too.”
If I had to sum up Stevie just for myself, I would say she made the smashing best of her skills and sensibilities, and I applaud. She was never a complete piddler or a face in the crowd (the list of piddlers in pop music in my lifetime is hundreds of miles long — people who never gave a damn about anything they were doing). As I noted elsewhere, Stevie is a model of complete self-fulfillment. She was superb at being Stevie, and in fact her more embarrassing moments were when she may have thought she was Joni Mitchell or Don Henley or Bob Dylan. Would I say that to Bob Dylan?
