How does Kristen cope? When they get up in the morning & she asks him what he wants for breakfast & he says, "Our journey has been a long one, but the point is, we're here," what does she do? "Uhhh . . . yeah . . . "
There's no other conclusion to be drawn: it is freaky. In fact, in the freaky department, Lindsey easily gives Stevie a run for her money. He can't talk extemporaneously -- the way the rest of us talk -- anymore. He's the Stepford Guitarist. Or some sort of alien life form -- perhaps an interstellar worm -- has lodged itself in his cerebellum. 
And Mick is out there selling ... WINE?! This band is a doozy. These people are so much more screwed up today than they ever were on cocaine & pot. They make their former selves look like models of behavioral normalcy & mental clarity. |
I have to agree. Love him, but he is clearly OCD.
I heard about this show weeks ago - a friend of mine was doing the set. But I was uncertain of the date or venue. Just knew it was DC, Lexus, and this week. Suppose I could have gone if I wanted to schlep my butt to DC, but I have bigger fish to fry.
And yes, of course they got a truckload of money for it. Probably more than they made each night of this last leg of the tour.
