I'd expect someone who despises Stevie to bash Stevie. I'm only surprised when someone who claims to be one of her "biggest fans," bashes her as if their very life depended on it.

Now, don't get me wrong... I'm not talking about good, honest criticism. I'm talking about the many and sundry cheap-shots.

But, then, someone once said, "it doesn't matter what they say, so long as they're talking about you."
So, if one chooses to look at it that way, I suppose Stevie gets the last laugh after all: even the people who genuinely do despise her, talk about her more than anyone else in the band.

Good thing I've never professed to being one of her "biggest fans." At least while sober...

If we're talking about her work from '75-'83, I consider myself a big fan. But after that? Forget about it.
