You know, if Stevie says this song was about Lindsey...this song was about Lindsey. I think the woman--if she's gonna reveal what a song is about--is honest about it. If she doesn't want to do so, she doesn't.
So, Joe Walsh...pffftttoooey.
(IMO, YMMV, etc, etc).
And, I have to say, I've heard dozens and dozens of Lindsey interviews (probably hundreds, now that I'm thinking about it). In times of anger, etc, he may not have been glowing about Stevie, may have said they didn't get along, weren't compatible, didn't speak at the moment...and she's said far worse about him, frankly, but he's never been disrespectful of her the way Walsh was. So, whatever layers you want to peel back to find the angelic version of Joe Walsh, feel free. Me? If I know of a woman who has gone on record calling someone one of the loves of her life--and he turns around and calls her nothing but a road fu*k, he's a jerk. No layers to peel. No songs to write.
