And yes Elle, if he had more success like Stevie does when she tours, he'd be eating up all his craved attention there also. Problem is, his music isn't as good as hers so he'll never have that large audience applause..

y'all chiffs are so cute trying to push this type of stuff over and over.
commercial does not equal great or even good, no matter how many times you try to push that.
in fact, in most cases it's just the opposite.
nobody has a problem with Homer or you saying that LB is attention / adulation whore - he does love it and eats it up - and gives back to fans 1000x. it's not "if". he does do that, and he does tour extensively, whether solo, or BuckVie, or FM. when you add tour dates (public ones, not private gigs paid for by corporations) LB probably has way more tour dates than SN. she has more tours while he possibly has more dates all together. so what you are talking about really makes no sense - other than your trying to yet again push chiffs' favorite theory that commercially successful means quality performer and songwriter.

i remember reading how SN arena shows had highest level seats covered up / blocked off, and how her sheds shows did not even try to sell lawn. some of BuckVie shows in largest venues were completely sold out (Wolf Trap - together with huge lawn - for example), while others not so much. nobody disputes that SN is a known name while LB and CM are not, and that she has always and still is way more commercial than the others. so again - i don't get why you are trying to argue that point, and claiming that people don't accept it. and yes, neutral people (and critics, which she really hated!) would go to FM shows and come out raving about LB not SN.
LB, SN, and MF all are attention whores. which is to fans' benefit. nobody disputes that. we all agree on that.
