Interesting! I have always believed that "Gold Dust Woman" was influenced by an episode of "The Rockford Files" in which there is a crime out on an Indian reservation, & one of the Indian women gets sick & lies in bed & sings.
Stevie once said that "Crying in the Night" was influenced not specifically by a TV show but by the TV actress Lesley Ann Warren, who played Mae in "The Daughters of Joshua Cabe on TV in 1972.
What I wonder is just where Stevie gets the time to read Wilde poems & stories what with all that TV watching in her household. Does she read condensed versions of it? Reader's Digest?
