She, supported by her team, was in full "I'm a STAR" mode and not above throwing her weight around to get what she wanted. For her, image was absolutely everything by then.

Oh yes, I definitely saw this then and it’s still clear 35 years later. And it is supremely unethical. Even if Stewart agreed to it, she was not in a position to say no without potential repercussions or, at least, the fear of making Stevie and her people unhappy.

Seven Wonders is by far the best Stevie "contribution", too.

This falls under "it's better to make $100K from a song, than no K at all".

Yes, your Majesty!

The ironic part is almost every song that Stevie has sung that someone else wrote she has flubbed or changed a lyric or two yet she never got writing credit. Because she was friends with Sandy it made it an easy task.
The list is long but didnt she change a word to hurricane in Some Become Strangers.

She’s even flubbed the lyrics of her own songs, so she should get co-writing credit with the other Stevie. Remember, as she says in the TUSK doc: “I’m a Gemini; I’m two people.”

Stevie did make up a fantasy world named Emmaline that Sandy didn't think of

I think the way the credit is on the Tango 2017 Deluxe edition is Lyrics by Sandy Stewart. Additional/Contributed Lyrics by Stevie Nicks

Hey, that small lyric change made it the tiny hit that it was. Without that change it may not have made the top 40. Lindsey had not left yet so Little Lies had no chance.

It used to be Rhiannon rings like a Bear thru the night.

Do you suppose the other half of Stevie's Gemini is a bear?

That is was the way it was credited on the original lp as well—and it’s still too generous.

I remember that distinctly. Because the liner notes on this album were pretty specific. Lots of Buck/Vies from this album.
