Years ago when I was involved in an Eagles forum there was some suggestion that the line in Hotel California

"She's got lots of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends" was about Stevie.

Although lets just assume the whole album of Hotel California was about Stevie and in the end Don just considered it "Wasted Time"

I've always though that "Miss Ghost" off Don's solo album could almost have been about Stevie. Don't ask my why...

Hi Guys. First post!

Similarly to 'Witchy Woman' being written years previously, I always felt that Elton Johns 'Tiny Dancer' could've been about Stevie!

Cheers,Glenn

Sadly not as it is still commercially available and I don't want to get in trouble again. I'm sure you could find it on iTunes etc though?

Pretty much all the lyrics could describe her. (Besides the "Raven hair" one)
Hate to dissapoint ya'all, but Don has said, the only Eagles song about Stevie is One of these nights. and when they started dating, he sent her a bouqet of Roses, with a card saying that as well, and had his private jet pick her up while on the Tusk tour for them to meet. The rest is history...

Hmm. I find this also hard to believe. 'One Of These Nights' was written in '75 maybe
'74. I believe Henley and Nicks didn't start dating 'till '77! The chronology is all wrong! Sorry

There are always arguments made back and forth that Life in the Fast Lane is about Stevie and Lindsey. I like to believe it was. Then again, I also like to convince myself that Castaway Dreams is completely about Stevie so eh

Unless Don Henley knew Stevie when she was in Fritz (which I seriously doubt), this song is NOT about her. It was released in 1971 and probably written much earlier than that...LONG TIME before they ever met.

Sorry to pop your little fantasy bubble, but it's time for a reality check.

Alright, alright, calm down.
I only said it once and haven't said anything else about it since.

Obviously it wasn't written about her.
Maybe part of her whole 'persona' came from the song though... just sayin'.
