I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Since I just read an article where Stevie said this song was very much about Lindsey and being on tour with Fleetwood Mac, that probably influences my reading ... but it's very easy to read these lines as being about Lindsey anyway. The way that he exercised control over her music, taking it and shaping it into something else ... he probably influenced other decisions in her life as well. Even though he was younger than her in years, it seems like he was kind of her mentor musically and maybe played the part of a father figure at times. Could also refer to Mick whom I think she looked up to and trusted implicitly, even letting him exercise control over the rights to her music, i.e. "Silver Springs" ...
