It was her feelings as the duo of Buckingham-Nix just lost a record contract and things were looking bleak. She was in Aspen, looking at the Rockies, and became inspired. She might have dedicated the song to her dad during a concert, but it was not written about or for him according to Stevie herself.

She said the song was to go on an album with Buckingham but the studios (Clive Davis) at the time rejected the song saying it was not what people wanted to listen to. She often dedicates the song to her father for standing with her during her troubled time with Buckingham and the music world in general. I believe she made a pact with her father at the time she would give the music scene 1 more year to see if she had a future in it. Hence her pal a studio engineer introduced Buckingham to Fleetwood (who needed a guitarist for the band at the time, to go on tour) but only as a package deal with Stevie Nicks. They accepted the deal - she offered the song to Fleetwood, they liked it, recorded it, it has become a widely covered hit song proving once again corporate people who often guide our music tastes don’t always get it right. Bully for Nicks sticking to her instincts.

Easily in my top 20…maybe even top 15
Hate her voice. Hate her writing a song about the baby she aborted, "Sara." Croaky-voiced witch.
Also the worst iteration of Fleetwood Mac, er, Fleetwood Muzak.
us all. Seeing you’ve put a stake in the ground to what turns you off.
Never understood people like you.
didn't do. Why am I not surprised?
Hey, I love to share music I like:
but they did write a few good tunes in their time.
Gotta Love, Peter Green.
I love Kirwan's stuff after Green left and I love the Bob Welch stuff. That said, Green was the golden ticket and Mick Fleetwood still smarts over Green frying his brain on acid. He knows what they lost.
