But I actually see your point. I've always thought that as well. Lindsey wasn't commercially successful but he never really was a huge star anyways and he was still respected. Stevie on the other hand must've really felt the 'decline' so to speak. I feel for Stevie in that era. People said such cruel things about her and they had no idea of the addiction she was battling.

I'd say definitely not, she hadn't still totally returned to her former glory but she wasn't a laughingstock by that time; since 1996 she was sober and had slimmed down, had started generally working more making apparitions, participating in soundtracks and doing some shows here and there and the press started noticing. She was receiving all favorable articles and reviews even if they were still few in numbers.
