She's human. Yes, she is a sweet lady, I guess. I've never met her, but she seems like a nice lady to me. But they were all f**ked up back then, and they all have come a long way and have worked hard to become better people. People will always bash Lindsey, but when they talk about Stevie as if she never did anything wrong, or bad, for me, they lose all credibility. And I'm not just calling you out on that. I see it a lot on all different social media sites. I don't say that to bash Stevie. I just think we need to be clear that there's probably no one in that band who is without sin! :

Whoa..no need to get upset, and your not calling me out, because I think you miss understood my post.

I was not trying to say Stevie never did anything wrong and give her a pass for all her bad behavior.

My post was in response to Desiree's post saying that in the past she felt like Lindsey was ...such a diva, bitching all the time and acting crazy, out of control, mean... (which she's entitled to think)

The reason I brought up Lindsey being a (perceived) jerk at all was to illustrate the point of why some fan's choose to be a fan of Stevie's over Lindsey which a lot of times comes down to as a fan: Did you feel sorry for Stevie that she had to put up with such a jerk and see that Lindsey was mean and picking on her. That DOES NOT mean that I think Lindsey is or was a jerk. I was simply stating a reason that many fans have given as to why they are a fan of Stevie.

I also wrote as a fan: did you understand that Lindsey's heart was broken and he was lashing out at the woman that did it and feel sorry for Lindsey because he obviously loved her so much ? Because again, I was simply stating the reason that many fans have given as to why they are a fan of Lindsey.

Like, I've said many time I personally don't' think he is a jerk and I also think he had a valid reasons for being angry at Stevie for so long. If you read the post in it's context, I was actually defending Lindsey by explaining why in the past I thought he acted out towards Stevie.

Neither mine or Desiree's post were even really about Stevie except to illustrate the differences of how they act in public, and also how fans perceive them as people. It was never meant to give Stevie a free pass for bad behavior or to bash Lindsey in any way, as we were never really talking about Stevie in the first place.

DANG.. I really hope you have given Lindsey your name and phone number, because if he ever needs a bodyguard, I have no doubt you would do an AMAZING job.

i'm completely confused... i thought people are fans of musicians because of their music, singing, songwriting, guitar playing, drumming...

Right as usual Elle, however (and I know you know this) a musicians personally also matters to the fans.
