Well. Don't you also start mixing up artistic freedom with dumb marketingchoices, incoherent and inconsequent. All true. But that has nothing to do with the heartfelt passion for artistic freedom. Just acknowkedge that. I also say that his marketingstrategies are and were dumb. Thaqt's why I love the guy. He simply doesn't know how to do it because his artistic drive is constantly conflicting with it. Yes. And vice versa, before you are going to say that.

And about stevie: I talk about lindsey here. Everytime Strand or You come in the comparison with stevie is there. And THEN I react. Look at strands posts.

I love stevie, and she's made alot of better commercial choices than lindsey has. But today, Lindsey's music is alot more alive in my opinion than hers. She did that during his absence from the worlds stage, so I'm not blaming her. But her recent public appearances are sell outs. whatever you talk around it. Just calling a spade a spade.
