I think enjoy being in a band together, but have kept pretty separate lives.

Stevie broke up with Lindsey almost 40 years ago. I think most of the drama is manufactured.
the personal, romantic drama, yes.

the professional drama…. never.

Don't underestimate the continuing competition, antagonism, between them.

I find the most honest comments about them seem to come from Tom Petty… what was it Stevie said, he'll just tell it like it is basically.

His recent comment (in RS) was along the lines of "they get grumpy with each other when they realize they are going to have to spend the rest of their [professional] lives together, they are joined at the hip' because as much as we like them solo 'when we really get excited is when they are all together'

And his comment in Lindsey's BTM, "they love each other but man they really hate each other".

It'll never end, their power struggle.
