his assertion may have been that not only is he now happy and settled, but also that unlike in the past, he has learned how to channel any frustration he may have into something constructive.

so it's all Stevie's fault?? Only half-serious.

sounds like a very oblique way of acknowledging that clearly there's a lot of truth to some of what carol had to say in her book. or do you disagree?
