oh I think we BARELY know the gritty side of her life/career. It's been hinted at by a few people around her (Paul Fishkin, for one, talking about the "near overdoses" and having to "scrape her off the floor" and such)... so yeah, we know bad stuff happened, but we don't know nearly the half of it.

and frankly, I find just reading about all the good stuff in someone's life is a bit tedious....and can, if not well done, come off like bragging. (or delusional). The gritty parts add more meaning to the happy parts. I think of someone like, say, Liz Taylor. You could really write her off as a spoiled rich biatch but you see the trials and tribulations and falling and getting up parts and you really feel happy for her when you read the good parts of her life. I think if Stevie were to write about ALL that stuff, it would not only be fascinating but would grab more people.

But as always, it's her life, and it's her choice how to tell it.
