I think its just that the newer fans from the Dance till now, who have only witnessed Stevie in her sober wise woman of Rock era, may have a harder time hearing and seeing the wild hearted exploits of her earlier years.
I"ve been a fan for a long time I was a all of 13 when Bella Donna came out and so on, and I remeber just how "Spirited" Stevie once was....and why not....She was young, talented an beautiful.
I wish every young fan of today, could go back and witness a Stevie performance btwn 1981 -1986!!, It probably those performances and and recordings that have kept me a fan til-now.
I was at the Red rocks concert August of 86 while they recorded it, and was horrifired when I saw the edited version that hit cable and VHS a yr. and a half after the fact!....I'm sure they contimplated just burying the eveidence......and I also agree, the Klonopin years, is the time I think we really lost Stevie ......
Anyway I love the fact that Stevie is now sober and clean,(otherwise she probably wouldnt be here today) and the fact that she can record a cd like TISL is icing on the cake!...
