This is the reality, isn’t it? How many casual fans do I know who’ve seen FM on this latest tour and raved about how good Stevie was. They were going for her. She is, as Christine says, a brand. When Lindsey was on stage with them, he often reminded those masses that there was something else to admire—and their awe surprised them. But it wasn’t and isn’t enough to make them care that he’s gone. She is the draw. I don’t like acknowledging this, but there’s no way around it. Masses care about FM because she’s fronting them.

It’s a shame, really: BuckVie was so lively and rich but so few cared.
