But it seems like RAL took so long to make - and she already had the title for the album in 83. She also went on to say the fans don't know what she is talking about! LOL.
Joe was very important to Stevie around this time...and a LOT of her songs from the RAL demos and later in the 80s are not about Lindsey...they are about Joe.

Yes I agree, Stevie loves to be in the throws of passion and misery...and her relationship w/ Joe inspired
many compositions for RAL thru Street Angel...."Love is like a River", HAEWAFY, "One More Big Time Rock n' Roll Star" & "Long Way to Go" immediately spring to mind. And all the way up to TISL ("I Miss You"..she loved to talk to Joe about life and the price of fame during their relationship.)
While many insist that Stevie was originally going to call her 3rd solo record "Mirror, Mirror", I too recall Stevie mentioning in a article all the way back in August 1983, that she already knew the title of her next record was going to be "Rock A Little". As I digested everything Stevie back then, this stood out to me because I remember thinking it was an odd title for a Stevie Nicks record, not as mysterious or haunting as her former releases.
