Stevie's song just stirs up a history of thought/ documentation/media, that portray aspects of Mabel's life the family would rather not address.

In a way, his statement has a positive side: it brings Mabel back into public consciousness, and provides Stevie more exposure.

Side note: Check out the infamous propaganda film Reefer Madness from the 1930s. ( It's on DVD in black and white, and a more recent colorized version!) It portrays pot smokers as the bane of society -- crooks and murders-- whose fate is death and destruction. I recommend you smoke some of that "demon" weed before you watch it; you will get a lot laughs out of it.

Many a time, my friend, many a time
