To me, you're insinuating that she's not experiencing life like other musical artists are who perhaps haven't been around as long she. Just remember (oh wait, you never fail to remind us) Stevie's a lot older than many artists and she's been through many experiences in her life that a lot of these other people perhaps never went through. Not to mention, she's a different type of writer and her calling card has always been romanticism. Like I said, writers write about what they know, what they experience. What else does she have left to pull from? SHE'S WRITTEN IT ALL because she's experienced most topics covered in lyric form in some way or another. How many "new" experiences could she possibly have that wouldn't garner the same results? This is who she is and she's been this way for 30 years. She's not going to change. I don't want her to.
Thrown Down is hardly proof that she's dwelling on the past. "He fell for her again, she watched it happen." I don't need to belong to some "special club" to figure out what she's talking about. It couldn't be any more black and white unless she used names.
Call it repetitive and dull but don't refer to it as "****ty."
