Well, isn't it well established now that Mick and Stevie broke up because he started having an affair with her friend Sara, who later became his wife? Danny Goldberg certainly writes it that way, as did Carol Ann Harris and I'm sure Stevie said something to this effect recently too. Stevie definitely likes to paint herself as this self-sacrificing martyr but it seems more likely to me they split because of Mick's infidelity rather than any loyalty to the Mac or Lindsey.

You're right he did say that, I imagine all the band knew what was going on, the visit from Mick (and maybe Stevie too) probably just confirmed suspicions so I believe him when he says he shrugged his shoulders at Mick's revelation. I'm not saying he wasn't hurt by it but he probably had time to come to terms with it and shrug it off.

To be fair to Black Moon in the history of misheard lyrics that is pretty mild, and it still has the same meaning.
