Stevie on IAF

"This is the first song that I wrote with Sandy. I've probably prayed for so many years that I'd find somebody I could write songs with, and I finally found her. She lives in Houston, and she's totally crazy. She's a real brilliant musician and what she does for me is she writes a song, goes in with a band and records it, sends me the track. Track sounds great. I go in my bathroom, put it on my stereo, plug in my other tape recorder, sing along, record it right there. I play it for everybody the next day, everybody goes crazy, and that's it. It's over."

[OK . This liner note sounds less platonic than the quote I was trying to find of hers about Waddy]

There was a time when I was falling out of one love and into another, when nothing else seemed to matter except this person. I adored him. He was everything I wanted to be: a real rock and roller and a lover of the Stones, small and frail sometimes, but in many ways the strongest person I have ever known. His word was law. I became him. He became me and no one dared intrude upon this union. He is no longer with me, but his spirit twin never leaves him. I think sometimes I liked being on stage just to watch him. It was music combined with love, combined with the fact that when Waddy was beside me, I felt completely safe. It is to my great sorrow that we are no longer on stage together, but it is to my great joy that he always seems to be with me, even after all this time.

"I wrote this song about Mr. Waddy Wachtel, who I have always felt was the twin that we all have somewhere. It is to my great sorrow that he is no longer with me, but it is to my great joy that I had him as long as I did, some people are simply irreplaceable."
