Imaginary Lover

I agree that it seems out of character. However the key detail was how the song blew up and it was brought to Stevie's attention. Many fans thought or hoped it was a new FM song. There was no internet back then so it did not go viral but word of mouth got out for Stevie to buy the album. I think its a fantastic joke. I can see it happening.
Stevie was always laughing back then so I can see it happening. Remember in MICK'S BOOK Stevie and someone else dropped acid and could not find the way to the airport to pick up Mick in Hawaii and Stevie could not stop laughing. All bands play jokes on each other. I love the story of Mick and Lindsey? getting Don Henley's roses before Stevie got them and they got to write a card that was very sexually driven and Stevie thought it was real. These were the fun years. Another key detail that does reveal there is truth is Christine's reaction. Stevie could write lyrics but her chords were the same and the demos were nothing great. This really impressed Christine because it was arranged so perfectly and so unlike a Stevie demo. Had the story not been true that detail would not have come out.
