Glad you enjoyed the Hoppy Q&A. He did seem like an awfully sincere and nice person.
I have some big doubts though about the "Life in the Fast Lane" issue though. I know Hoppy is convinced "Life in the Fast Lane" is about Stevie and Lindsey, and he may believe that for a variety of reasons -- not the least of which is that he simply likes the idea that these two people he knew are immortalized in this cool song about a sexy couple learning the ropes in the rock world. But according to the writer of the song, Don Henley, this song isn't about Lindsey and Stevie. Henley has spoken about that song at some length in many interviews and he's said the song is actually about himself and his then girlfriend.
For me personally, I think I need to take Henley's word over Hoppy's.
