WEBMISTRESS speculates:
In the liner notes, Stevie writes: "Jon [Bon Jovi, the writer]...had sort of taken a time machine back eighteen years and watched my life, the good parts...and the bad...He dreamed what the notorious Stevie Nicks had been like...and what it had done to her...the indulgences, the lifestyle...he knew I had a strong instinct to survive." And he was right!
HEAINTLOVEU speculates:
This isn't really "speculation" per se, but more my own personal thoughts on the song.
First, this is the song that pretty much introduced me to Stevie Nicks when I was 17 years old (at the end of 1997). We had seen the Mac on the Dance Tour, and my mother had bought Timespace for me as a birthday present. It's probably one of my favorite Stevie songs EVER. It was a single in 1991, but only managed to reach #56 on the Billboard Hot 100. Because it contained the word "bitch" many radio stations were reluctant to play it (or so I've heard)! In fact, I remember reading something where Stevie herself had admitted back then that she wasn't comfortable recording a song with the word "bitch" in it, as she doesn't swear or come close to doing so in ANY of her songs (except "The Chain": "Damn your love, damn your lies.") But the Powers That Be wanted to release it as a single to promote Timespace, and Stevie had no say ... or so the story goes ...
