I've always wondered if Sharon or Lori or any one of those people very close to Stevie ever had any substance problems themselves. I don't really know anything about addiction but I feel like it would be more likely for someone to develop a problem if they spent so much time around someone else who clearly has a major problem.

I think most people in the business in the eighties probably indulged and had problems, although the degree of debilitation that resulted varied.

This was the description of coke use in the 80s described by the guitarist of the Police, Andy Summers in his memoir:

"Cocaine use rages like a white blizzard, and to avoid it, you would need a Band-Aid over your mouth and nose. Wherever we are now, drug dealers leap like genies from the wallpaper....... Everyone does coke: lawyers, bankers, athletes, accountants, office workers, roadies, technicians, limo drivers, and hotel maids. From the straightest to the worst party animals, its use is epidemic, and all activities seemed to be accompanied by a line or two through the rolled-up dollar bill."

This totally jives with the way Lindsey always described the industry back then.... he would say everyone was doing it, not just performers but managers and accountants and lawyers too.

So I'd say it'd be pretty hard to be around anyone, and especially Stevie, and not be using. I think of Carol Ann's description of being pulled into a bathroom and given some (not by Stevie but around the band). There was a quote from Benmont in the Tom Petty biography where he says he never realized how much coke could be done til he got around Stevie. So yeah, I'd wager no one in her inner circle was immune. And I hate to say it, but you have to wonder about the influence it may have had on some of those kids who were born around that circle like her godson.

It is possible, the person who originally posted it had labeled it even 1977 but based on hairstyle I'm pretty sure it's from the White Album era and I'd say 1976 because of the lenght.
Sanne/Goldduststevie is the expert about Stevie's photos and I usually follow her labeling system, maybe she can shed some light?

I posted it first on Tumblr, back in 2014. It was part of a set of rare pics that was sent to me by an anonymous person but he/she didn't have any info with the pics. But that guy is defintely not Cat Stevens, and I've also seen people label it as Christopher Nicks but it's not Stevie's brother either, I have no idea who it is. I labelled it "1975" because I think Stevie and Christine's look is very similar to these pics: http://goldduststevie.tumblr.com/pos...oot#post-notes
