The "Truth" Behind the Song

Like maybe Stevie had mused about using Sisters of the Moon in one of her many projects and Mick said no.

I would tend to agree with this more than the whole Kim Anderson bit. Just seems a bit far-fetched to me. I'm actually not convinced this song is about anyone in particular, maybe a series of people and/or situations. It's very general to me.
