I'm guessing they combed thru interviews and things from over the years to put content together. Which is fair enough as far as it goes, but given that we have gotten different stories about what some songs were about over the decades from the writers themselves (just for example, we never knew Over my Head was about/inspired by Lindsey until Chris came back to the band and talked about it in an interview, like 40 years after the fact; Stevie has changed her version of the meaning of numerous songs over the years, etc. And Lindsey hasn't dived that deeply at all into many of his songs....) I do not see that this will be some definitive documentation....  |
I had the same suspicions. I am open to learning more but many songs the hardcore fans speculate over for years. Only the artists know for sure. Unless there is a connection to the band we don't know about, I wonder how accurate this can be. But let's wait and find out.
