Perhaps Joe did. But I doubt Tina would've had trouble selling without him on the bill. I'd bet Joe felt privileged to open for the greatest female live performer.
Pretenders played for 75 minutes and were on the ticket for the 24 Karat Gold shows. Stevie played for 75 minutes when she opened for Rod in 2011 and 2012. So 24 Karat Gold Tour was close to a double bill.
Aretha was first woman to be inducted into the Rock Hall. Stevie isn't about kinship. She's happy to say she opens doors but won't acknowledge the struggles women of color had to endure in music business such as violence, racism, sexual abuse. As Billy sings, she's living in her white bread world...maybe an ivory tower
