Indeed. Stevie spent too many years high as a kite and tagging along on Heartbreaker tours (multiple) instead of doing her own sh&t. Stevie spent too many years waiting for Joe to come over. She likes to do the backhanded brag thing about how she never took a vacation she was always too busy. Well, I for one think if she HAD taken an actual vacation once in a while, and learned to be more selective in what she did, her creativity would have been better because she wouldn't have been so tired or burned out. When you compare the Stevie of 1975-1978 to the Stevie from Tusk tour onwards, it's such a clear and sad downward spiral. Fewer "gypsy girl" hangers-on licking her boots would have helped too. The repetitive tours of same old same old set list is really just another form of resting on her laurels. Or laziness.....
