This video sent me down a YouTube rabbit hole, and I found this. Now, I know that Stevie attended Arcadia HS for two years, as did I. But I never knew where the Nickses lived in Arcadia. This guy shows the house but does not say the street name, probably to save the privacy of the current residents. The street is shown so briefly that it could be anywhere.

Yes it is unfair and ridiculous. When Debbie Boone had the huge hit "You light up my life" no one knew she was praising God and thought it was about a relationship. Even the American Idol contestant was happy Stevie gave praise to him.
In any event, I just found it entertaining.
