And many years later when I did the video for Stand Back and Jeffrey Hornaday coreographed it they were going together and he in fact introduced me to her and I told her about it, that this song had been written about her. So this was a song that was really written about a certain person, and if you know that she is and whenever you hear Crying in the Night will know that that's what I wrote it about and she thought it was pretty mean (slang?), and I thought it was pretty mean, I thought it was pretty mean to get to tell her that I wrote it about her."
If someone with a better understanding of English can fill the blanks I'd be pretty grateful for it.

I remember that interview when it aired on the radio. I think she said, "A la Gunsmoke Kitty," referring to the show's character Miss Kitty, who owned a western saloon. She was a tough gal, so I think Stevie had her in mind.
