He got into a pretty normal van with his band to go to their hotel.

I know it's easier to get close to Lindsey, but I'm curious if anyone has had fan interactions with Stevie up close. She seems to avoid contact with fans and has probably increasingly avoided these encounters over the years. I mean, unlike Mick, neither her nor Lindsey are jumping to do meet and greets---only Lindsey comes off as a little more approachable, and Stevie more a diva. Is this the correct reading?

One thing that is very different about them is the whole entourage thing. Lindsey goes out and about on his own a lot it seems, while I don't think Stevie EVER goes out solo. She's always got SOMEBODY with her. Part of that is their personalities-- Lindsey likes his alone time and Stevie seems to always need/want people around. But Stevie also identifies herself as a ROCK STAR and embraces all that goes with it-- always in a big-azz limo, entourage, stopped driving herself years and years ago, etc... Lindsey goes out alone, drives himself, goes out walking around while on tour etc. I think the entourage thing would make him totally nuts. I don't think I've EVER heard LB describe HIMSELF as a 'rock star". He doesn't stop others from saying it (interviewers etc) and I'm sure he's not above pulling rank if he wants his way about something at times, but he sees himself as an artist, a producer, a musician, not a "star".
