I think you're onto something there. There is a clip of Tom Petty in the Jimmy Iovine documentary where he states that Stevie was surrounded by all these people/hangers on and he wasn't exactly clear on what their jobs were. Why are these people here?
Also, I don't buy the excuse that
Rock N Roll prevented Stevie from having lasting relationships and family. There are plenty of other Rock Chicks who've had relationships. Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo have been together for decades. Even Nancy Wilson and Cameron Crowe were married for many years (although eventually splitting).
