Stevie on Access Hollywood

Yeah, but the way she talks about not showing the song to anyone in FM makes it seem like she didn't want FM to know, not some outsider's wife. Maybe John McVie is her secret love.

Maybe it's all contrived hype?

But if it was 1975, she probably hadn't started using cocaine yet. Michele

That must be why her memory was much better after early 1976! We should start prescribing coke to Alzheimer's patients!

Well, it's true. John once said that sometimes he has forgotten things ever happened until he hears Mick talking about them. Alcohol and pot? Not so easy on the brain as the coca leaf. The heavy FM coke users seem to have preserved more of their little gray cells than those other, dottering guys.

Stevie, Mick and John... the most brain cells?

That's a good point. After Rumours hit, there were a lot of hangers on around and Stevie said she would practically give copies of things to anyone who asked, but this demo was stolen before they achieved that level of popularity.

So it's curious that even in 1975 Stevie had to send things home to her mother if she wanted to keep them safe. Someone around her was rifling through her possessions. I wonder if there is one particular person she found to be untrustworthy.

The prime suspect wouldn't be anyone she found untrustworthy, but more likely someone she trusted, who had the most access. Don't you think?

Well, if you have to hide things from them to keep them from being taken, I think the person is untrustworthy. It may have been someone that she loved and didn't want to push out of her life, but I don't think they could have been trustworthy if they stole demos within weeks of her making them.

This. I agree that she probably knows a lot more than she is letting on. However, she has said that she has ideas about who it may be about. To me it just seems like she wants to make sure that it is who she says it is. I don't think she's necessarily worried that much about "hurting" the other person or their family members, I just think she doesn't want to embarrass them or herself. I can understand that. Also, if what she has been saying is true (that in 1975 they were all moving fast etc.) then she very well may not remember EXACTLY who this song was about. Maybe I'm being a little on the defensive side here. But I can see her point.

I'd like to know at what point during the year 2010 did Stevie remember this song and realize she wanted it included on IYD? Perhaps she was daydreaming about the secret cat or maybe he had recently crossed paths with her again.
