*Raeven Skye sits down*  |
that's definitely the inspiration for her use of the phrase ... Arizona Indian culture
Stevie sometimes has talked about "going into my Indian phase," & she wrote Gold Dust Woman in one such phase, lying in bed in AZ, sick, playing her guitar & looking up at the Camelback Mountains
But, as Tower said, she probably also uses "cliff dweller" in connection with her West Coast digs: sort of a double meaning.
