Oh I never implied that Tammy made a big comeback.
Aside from her sad demise, however, she dominated country music and had more influence in her genre than Stevie did.
I base this not on my personal opinion but the testimony
of essentially every female country singer to come after her. I mean come on. 17 number one songs?

However, Stevie, the Queen of Rock and Roll took her silver spoon and dug her way out of the potential grave.

Dude. That Queen of Rock and Roll tag was a one time
tag from Rolling Stone that was dubbed on a cover in the summer of 1981. Almost 28 years ago. It was true then.
It was momentary.

She may not have some of the chops she once had in her younger days, but at least her addictions aren't killing her any more. I think she sounds and looks amazing on this current FM tour. It looks like she will do the one thing her rehab partner at Betty Ford couldn't do and that is not let her addictions destroy her.
If and when the performing ship sails for Stevie, I think her final bow will be very classy ... not the worst performance ever of her signature song on national television to go home and die on a couch because she had been overmedicated by a control freak...
I think Stevie has risen above.

Oh don't get me wrong. I am glad she is alive.
She beat the addictions, except the one to pot, and lived.
She just isn't creative anymore.

Btw, Lindsey wouldn't even know what a pickup truck is...  The story might be more accurate if it included a Mercedes and cocaine...

True. And god knows he couldn't drive a tractor to a tavern. He'd need to call an assistant to help.
