Sorceror and its origins...

Stevie says that Sorcerer was written when they moved to Hollywood... and it's just about the scariness of the place. I've heard somewhere that the "sorcerer" was a drug dealer... but I think the sorcerer was actually LA itself. There are early demo's of this song with Lindsey floating around.

I love the early version with Lindsey. The harmonies in that song are some of the best that they have ever done in my opinion. I actually prefer the early version to the version on TISL.

This song was one of the songs that Stevie took time to introduce on her TISL tour. I saw her twice, and each time she said the same thing about this song - that she wrote it when Lindsey and she moved to "scary" Hollywood. She said that before she moved there she was fairly naive about the world in general (a "lady from the mountain", so to speak).

Great song, but not about any type of wiccan, pagan or religious belief, in my opinion
