Now Stevenson is about to publish a book that he says will blow the lid off the sham story.
'I don't want to hurt anyone,' Stevenson, 72, said at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the town Biden has called home for half a century. 'But facts are facts and what happened, happened.'
Stevenson is keeping the title of his book close to his chest.
He said he has not yet decided whether to publish before the election or after. 'It's ready to go,' he said. 'They can print 30,000 copies in 10 days.
'I genuinely don't want to harm Jill's chances of becoming First Lady. She would make an excellent First Lady but this is my story.
'It's not a bitter book I'm not bitter because, if it wasn't for my divorce, I would never have met my wife Linda and she's the greatest thing in my life but it does have facts in it that aren't pleasant to Jill and Joe.
'People ask me how I can go back 40 years, but I am not, I'm going back 72 years to tell my life story,' added Stevenson, who founded The Stone Balloon, a famed live music club near the University of Delaware.
Rolling Stone once called it 'the best kept secret in rock and roll.' Some of the biggest names in music including the Allman Brothers, Metallica, Ray Charles, Run DMC, The Dave Matthews Band, David Crosby, Bonnie Raitt and Hootie and the Blowfish played there during its 30-plus year history.
'The book is about 300 pages long and Jill only takes up about 80 of them,' Stevenson said.
Stevenson married Jill Jacobs in 1970. 'It was February, I believe it was the 7th,' he told DailyMail.com.
Two years later, he said, the couple were working on then-New Castle County Councilman Biden's first campaign for the Senate.

Hhmm.
