WOW...

Wow, this surprises me. I thought Stevie was hesitant to include obscenities in her songs, remember her apprehension with "Sometimes it's a Bitch?" However, she should have been apprehensive to sing that song because it's terrible!

Are you sure it's not the version from the 'Red Rocks' video? Many fans insist that's what she's singing in that performance (I am not one of those people however).

In the stillness of the night
In the darkness of the night
Come in out of the darkness of the night
You don't forget me
No, you don't forget me
Listen to me, baby
Listen to me
Somebody's always talking to you
And you're not listening

And you say, Rhiannon
And she says, Well, I have to go
I have to fly

Are you sure it's not "whole wide world"? That's the been the standard line for the past nearly twenty years. I can't imagine her changing it at one show....and Kansas, no doubt.

Pertaining to the original post in this thread, I think her originally saying, "Well, it's one more link in the chain, I know" was like her being told that it's one more link in the chain, and later in the RAL tour she seems to reveal Mick is the one that told her that. I always considered Outside the Rain to be about Mick (creature of the night) and their relationship, and in this part he's saying that all their relationship is is "one more link in the chain," but "[she doesn't] believe that." Of course, the song is sort of angry, and I thought they broke it off peacefully, so I may be wrong. Heh, probably am.

Apparently, she sang that a bunch of times that year ("Take your Silver Springs and dig your grave"). Somebody once said it was related to the fight with Mick, but that fight didn't start until the following year.

Perhaps she had just begun to think about what she wanted to do with Silver Springs the following year, so it was on her mind a lot? It does sound interesting as an alternate lyric, despite the fact that one cannot "dig" with a "springs" like they can a "spoon".

Perhaps also Stevie had in fact already "unofficially" mentioned the idea to Mick and knew he disapproved, but did not yet know to what extent?

That says a lot, doesn't it?! I love that Stevie has always put herself out there emotionally to an extreme. If I had to pick one thing at the core of it all that "makes Stevie, Stevie", it would be that. "Still I am a fool"="I'm still writing songs for this guy?!" I get the feeling she looks upon it with fondness, though, as opposed to self-criticism. Didn't she say in a recent interview that she still loves to write songs about LB, and he still loves her to write them for him?
