The Nightmare

[bwboy]

Wow, interesting theories here about the Nightmare. I do not have any passionate thoughts about this song, I don’t love it but I certainly don’t hate it, either. Listening to the radio this morning, I heard We Don’t Need Another Hero by Tina Turner from the Mad Max sequel, and it kind of brought to mind the Nightmare a little bit. The radio said We Don’t Need Another Hero came out in 1985, the same year Rock a Little came out. I could imagine Stevie singing it. I think These Dreams by Heart also came out in 1985. Between Some Become Strangers, Talk to Me, and Reconsider Me, it seems like Stevie or her people were actively seeking out songs from other songwriters for the album.
