Nearly all of them moved on, moved out, got married, had kids, etc etc etc...... In other words, grew up a little and had real lives. Hell even the other band members did. Not Stevie.

I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way, but saying other people “got married, had kids, etc…in other words, grew up and had real lives” sounds like what JD Vance has said. Just a reminder that folks can be single and childless and still be grown up and happy. Again, I’m certain that’s not how you meant what you said, but that’s how it comes across.

You might be a tad too sensitive, and also need to realize that you aren't in a position to dictate what others are allowed to say. Pay our bills, and then you can tell us what we're allowed to say.

True, but I never said Bombaysaffires couldn’t say it; I said if that was what they meant to say, then I disagreed with them. There’s a big difference. And I really don’t think they meant to say unmarried people aren’t grown up.

I presented a list of the things those people did. Some got married; some had kids; some did both...... These are facts, not my recommendations. I personally don't have kids, and am well aware one does not need children to have an adult life. Not everything is personal, and facts are facts, whether some people like them or not. Stevie's long-term commitment has always been to her career over everything else. This is the choice she has made. She is allowed to make whatever choice she wants. Each choice has its own consequences. She's the one who told Sheryl Crow that if she (Sheryl) had children, she would lose her career (Sheryl said this on Oprah with Stevie sitting beside her, who freaked out and tried to deny she said it). Sheryl had two kids and as far as I can tell isn't in the poorhouse. Chrissy Hynde also had children and kept her career. But, and it's a big "but"....you have to WANT it to make it work. Stevie never really wanted that.
