i think she didn't mean to say what actually came out.

she was probably trying to say something that lindsey always says - how he never learned to play guitar in a proper way or to read music, but that helped him to be more inventive b/c he knew of no rules to follow.

i'm not sure that it helps anybody - musicians or songwriters - if someone says to them something like "no reason to learn anything" - which is what she basically said. what she probably meant to say was something like "just follow your instincts". but who knows, i'm not good at stevie-speak or looking at the world through chiffon . a lot of what she says sounds kinda oblivious and out-of-touch to me.
