Stevies Phone Lecture to Lindsey

And it's basically the same attitude she describes in talking about leaving Northern California and being the driving force pushing them towards fame when they moved to California.

She's even said that she wasn't really trying to sound good on BN, because she just wanted Lindsey to shine. And when it came to 1997, I am sure she feels she contributed to the family life he has now, that she let it happen. She always casts herself in that role of always being the one to sacrifice and forfeit.

Of course, when he sings of the one who has to sacrifice to make this thing come out right, I don't think he's talking about her.

I agree. Stevie like to save people. That's why I think she loved Joe Walsh so much. He was deep into drugs when she started seeing him, and from what I have read in pretty bad shape. Like Lindsey said she romanticizes her romanticism.

The only problem is that she wasn't in much better shape at the time.
