There always was and always will be a valley of separation between Lindsey and Stevie in the respect that Stevie was all about making the splash and achieving fame, while Lindsey always made decisions from the artists point of view first. Lindsey was a guitar maniac on stage, while it was Stevie's vocals and appearance on stage that drew attention. They were both amazing songwriters and perhaps that's the one area that provides the least amount of resentment (beyond some of the sharp lyrics they've directed at each other over the decades)

I wouldn't call Old Goatsy an amazing songwriter. I mean, she doesn't really write the music, other than plonking out her F and G chords. SOMEBODY ELSE turns it into magic.
