Found an error last night in the new book. Robin Anderson was referred to as a "he" not a "she". Probably just a typo though.

Stevie is pretty "child-like" in her views of those around her. Which is part of what I was saying in that I feel her autobiography would romanticize the players. Quite honestly, I've always found that aspect of Stevie's personality refreshing... though I realize others find it exasperating. But, really, you can find hundreds of performers who regard their musicians and session-men in a professional way, but how often do you find one who actually speaks about these guys (and gals) in terms of FRIENDSHIP? We all know Benmont can play killer keyboards... I'm pretty sure Stevie knows that too, that's why she wants him around. But Stevie talks not about what Benmont does within the songs, but what he does for her as a friend and as a fellow music-maker. And while others might go on and on about Tom Petty's musical accomplishments, and all his multi-platinum albums, and the long string of Top 40 hits, and his various awards, Stevie goes on and on about Tom Petty, the man. The guy who's kind and sweet to her, and gives her a pep talk when she needs it, and whose music gets her toes a-tappin.' I think that's pretty cool... and as a human-being, I'd find that more touching and flattering than just being praised for my musical abilities. So, yeah, she's pretty doggone self-absorbed in that her viewpoints stem from how something makes HER feel ("Illume" is a shining example of that), but I think that also keeps her from being just another performer who keeps people... fans, studio musicians, peers... at arm's length.

Well, depending on what I wanted to tell, it wouldn't be too bland. But even when I used to keep a journal, I never wrote down exact quotes. I didn't focus on the black & white details, but the emotions of it all. I didn't have to write that ______ said this, that, and the other thing, when he told me he decided to get back together with his ex-boyfriend. Instead, I wrote about the anger, hurt, betrayal, etc. And I might have written that our last night together before the break-up was memorable... but I would have left out any discussion of that tongue trick.
