As I was reading the feature article on Rolling Stone.com. about different songs of love or relationship---a Valentine's Day Theme. I ran across a mention of Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. I hadn't ever heard or read this before I read it on there today. If you want to read the whole article, you can go here http://www.rollingstone.com/features...n.asp?pid=2793

Hearts and Bones

Twenty songs for famous Valentines

By Michael Ansaldo

"Stevie"
Brian Wilson
Circa late Seventies
Inspired by Stevie Nicks?

Brother Dennis had a romantic dalliance with Christine McVie, but he may not have been the only Wilson boy with a thing for a Fleetwood Mac beauty. It's been speculated that this Wilson solo outtake was written in admiration of Stevie Nicks. Full of vintage Brian romanticism -- "I have adored you for so long/And the vibrations are so strong" -- "Stevie" finds Wilson typically wearing his boyish infatuation on his sleeve. We may never know the song's true origin, but Nicks seems like just the kind of California girl Brian would dream about.
