It would also seem that Bob, in the years after the R&RHoF snub, harbored no ill-will toward Stevie or Lindsey.

In his 1999 Q&A here on The Penguin, he wrote, "I talk to Stevie once or twice a year, and always go to her show if she's in town... Of course my "beef" was not anything to do with Stevie or Lindsey anyway. I haven't talked to Mick, John, or Chris at all, and frankly don't expect to.."

That was my initial thinking also JohnnyStew....but the comment that the issue came from a person one wouldn't expect and someone who said or fostered the impression that they'd kept up with Bob over the years....made me wonder about Stevie.

I do agree, though, that the nature of their relationship over the years, certainly in the early years of the LB/SN tenure in the band, made it seem they had a good relationship with Bob. Hence, I'd be really disappointed if it were Stevie. But as the band members themselves often say about themselves, after all these years nothing that could happen would be surprising.
