I took it to mean that happened with her and Lindsey.  And, maybe more than once... Of course if you think they totally broke up in 1976 and were never together again that theory wouldn't work. When she said that the guy lied to her it did remind me of the line in Lindsey's song, "Treason" - "closed my eyes, told you lies, out of my hand." |
No, no one is saying Moonlight is about Joe. Moonlight is about Lindsey - heck, all but that one verse and the chorus/bridge was written before she even dated Joe. It was just being pointed out that in the article in the OP, Stevie talks mentions that she once had an experience like Bella in New Moon, when someone and she was all depressed for months and stuff, which sounds very similar to the way Stevie described Joe leaving her, but in the article, they attributed it to her relationship with Lindsey. That's all anyone's saying. Stevie never even said a name in the article - it was the interviewer who assumed she was talking about Lindsey.
In true Nicksian fashion, I do believe you are right and that she's changed her story a bit - I now recall another interview where she said it happened two her twice in her life. Perhaps one was Joe, and the other was Lindsey at some point over the past 40 years. There's been plenty of opportunity, for sure.
Guys, I don't like Joe Walsh! I think he's kind of an ass and I don't even know anything about the dude, aside from all the horrible things he said about Stevie. I was just making an observation.
