^^^ Nice post. They do have quite a story, any way you look at it.

Also, according to the time frame Stevie gave in the quote, the tour she is referring to is The Dance which was Stevie's first tour after her '95 rehab stay. I'm pretty sure Tom Petty, Mike Campbell or Carlos Rios weren't on that tour. Just judging from the rehearsal videos and Stevie and Lindsey's body language and interaction, they were not as stilted towards one another as you might expect for being newly reacquainted after a period of long animosity. They seemed very comfortable and he was being obviously protective of her. Fans here have said when they went backstage at a show, everyone else was gone but Stevie and Lindsey came in holding hands and sat down on a sofa and continued to hold hands, prompting the fans to assume they were back together. Stevie and Lindsey denied it, but it was apparent to the fans they were close again.

It could be forbidden because they were supposed to be with other people. Lindsey was breaking up with Cheri during this time period.

"For What It's Worth" has been called a "mirror" to "Landslide"... it does sound like she comes full-circle in the song.

At any rate, whoever it's about - I'm thankful to that person. And, I think it's one of the most beautiful and touching songs she's ever written.

Very interesting and insightful post. I never thought of it that way. She seems to dance around the meaning and be protective of her songs for a good while after their release, so maybe ten years from now we will really know what it's about.

Trigger Trigger Trigger! Help me, I'm about to have a shipper relapse! Are any of those fans who went backstage around the ledge? Noooo, don't tell me.

I never knew any of that. It could be him then.

Great post.

As open as Stevie is being in these new interviews (admitting Lady From the Mountains is about Lindsey), I wouldn't be surprised if she confesses this one if asked about it.

This song is crazy beautiful. Her voice is so tender and intimate, im starting to REALLY fall for this song. The more i listen the more it's claws come out and grab me. I agree, totally about LB. We could be wrong but i don't think so !

[Sugar]

Must say the first person I thought of when I heard this song was Mick.

[Ghosty]

i thought it was said lindsey was at several street angel shows, which surprised me when i heard that. so he did seem to be around her at least a little in 94. hmmm.....and now she's almost gushing about the guy...

when i was on vaca one summer in RI i could have swore i saw sn and lb drive by - lol!!! i'm sure it was not them, but it just sort of cracked me up. i don't remember the year, i'd have to go check in my photo album. but it was either 92, 93, or 94. it was newport RI. and the woman's hair was long and straight - guess that rules out summer of 94 with the krimping!

Well, with all her wigs, extensions, etc. that just may be splitting hairs...

[QUOTE=darklinensuit;973793]I don't have a clue to the secret person at this point, but Mike Campbell does sound pretty logical.

I'll get flamed for this, but I will say that, while I like the song, it sounds like it would fit on Street Angel pretty well - musically, lyrically, vocally. Sort of a cross between "Inspiration" and "Rose Garden".


I'm thinking it was either Carlos Rios or Mike Campbell. Wasn't Carlos her band leader at the time. I don't think Waddy was on that tour. Well, whoever he was, we owe him a big Thank You. Afterall, he saved our girls life.

No, I completely agree. When I was trying to think earlier of what it reminds me of, I thought of a mix of "Inspiration" and "Rose Garden" (especially "Rose Garden"). Add in a little "Hey There, Delilah." This is definitely my favorite track off the CD. Amazing lyrics with great delivery.

[Josh2003]

I've only sort of skimmed through this thread, so forgive me if this thought has already been raised, but...

If this song were about Stevie, wouldn't she have just said so? I mean, she has no qualms whatsoever about talking about when a song is about Lindsey. She just did so re: one of the verses of "Moonlight." Why would she beat around the bush and say, vaguely, that the song is about someone who helped her through a difficult time, when she could have just as easily said that it's about Lindsey?

This is exactly what I posted in another thread the other day. Glad I'm not crazy for thinking so. Or that I'm not alone in my craziness.

Just a small correction: Stevie's stay in rehab for the Klonopin addiction happened in late '93, not 1995, and the first tour afterward was for 'Street Angel.' Carlos Rios was on that tour. As was the married Rick Vito.
