As I saw them live earlier this month, it hit me, Stevie is an entertainer, Lindsey is a musician. Each of the two respectively lean on those terms heavily. I was taken aback at how the sold out crowd went wild for Lindsey, when I thought Stevie would be garnering much of the loud applauds. I realized that it was Lindsey which carried the show, not Stevie as I had naively thought. The simple fact is that a true musician who is forever pushing their limits and strives to stay creatively relevant, will "age gracefully" in terms of their art, an entertainer who uses ones physical and emotional attributes will wear out. For me, I'm not so much a fan of one more than the other, but the respect as an artist is not equal among the two, there is no competition.
