"..the Press really kind of messed up our friendship."

I have zero inside knowledge.

But "If You Were My Love".... Stevie says in print that she wrote it after recording "Outside the Rain" with TP & the Heartbreakers. She was inspired to write this new song. The lyrics imply it's a new love, one that could never be.

Stevie fell in love with Tom. IMO.

Stevie's songs lend more credence for me than a married man saying he thought of Stevie as a little sister. Until 1991, no one had any idea that all those many songs were written about Joe Walsh, and that Stevie considered him her greatest love of all! she wouldn't even admit it in 1989 when talking about "Long Way To Go", but she sure opened up 2 years later with that BBC interview.

Stevie lives on secrets and unrequited love and hidden meanings. I think they lied to protect his marriage and family. Just going on Stevie's song lyrics and when she wrote them.

And I could be 100% wrong. No big deal.
