Yes, I would think there is meaning in both Stevie's songs following the Dance tour and Lindsey's Under the Skin songs. They all seem to be about the same thing.
I saw many Dance shows, but not enough and not as many as I would have seen if I'd known that Christine was leaving. Through October 1997 I was happy to see consecutive shows in California and Vegas. I try to catch the first and last shows, but I am always upset about the long gaps of time where I miss shows, when they are playing the East coast. It makes me sad for them to be on tour and out of my reach distance wise or financially.
However, it is always fun to see the way a show progresses from month to month as well and to notice the changes, what works better, who is leaving the stage instead of staying through Not That Funny and who is not hugging whom any longer.
As for Lindsey, I don't think I've seen him drunk at the Landover show or any other, but he freely admitted to doing marijuana still. Who knows what else was going on. It was interesting to watch his personality come through and his weight come down over the course of that tour. I'm hardly scandalized by the thought that any of them partook of controlled substances.
