The story of "Smile At You"

[sasja]

I interpret that quote as: "We don't think we should put any bitter song in general on this record, because it's going to be a cheerful record -- Fleetwood Mac is in a good place. "

The quote does not imply to me that the lyrics are about Lindsey Buckingham, but rather, that they are bitter in general, and as such the song won't fit the airy Mirage concept, in both their opinions.

I too thought the song was about Stevie, Don Henley and Ms. Lapiere.
