You know, every coin has two sides and all that ****, but I'm still undecided about who was being the bigger asshole. Maybe we had to be there.

What could be a**holish about placing your album on a surface for someone to have?

I don't know, but everybody has a suspicion about why Lindsey didn't take it, surely Stevie must have known it was a touchy subject also.

I guess the fact that she wrote a "sweet note" to go with it makes her less assholish.

^^^^ yep.

But it is only "touchy" b/c LB was an A-hole. The act itself is one of generosity, there is nothing inherently bitchy about it.
I don't think Stevie thinks like that, about people being all jealous and mean spirited, so she probably didn't think LB would react that way.

I just think there's more to the story than we know. Things don't add up. Doesn't matter anyway, it took place freakin' 25 years ago. Speaking of old days...

I think he probably perceived her giving him the signed copy of the album as a bit snarky. Like "look at me, I'm a big solo star, look what I did without YOUR help..." Whether she meant it that way or not.

Let's ask John if Stevie gave HIM a signed copy of Bella Donna & if he listened to it or not.

I doubt she didn't. You are in a band, make a solo album, and don't give it to your bandmates? Who could do that? Well...

Exactly - I think people just like to ignore that LB is somewhat of a jealous jerk, esp then.

He was. I am unsure how anyone can see it any other way. I mean she was proud of her work and wanted to give it to him. The polite thing for him to have done is accept or refuse it. Instead, he ignored it, which was rude and purposefully hurtful.

Also, I do not remember La Nicks saying she gave her stuff to anyone she even remotely knew She has had listening parties in different cities, but those often are the record company's thing and it is a common practice.

Sense the tone Jason, I was exaggerating. She mentioned a few times a lot of her friends have demo tapes because she hands them out. I think it was in reference to how some of her demos leaked out in the first place.
