This song does extend from Edge of Seventeen; it's about the difficulties
of female rock 'n' roll singers; it's about my friend Robin, it's about death,
it's a spirit calling. Wearing boots all summer long is like, always being ready
for a flood or avalanche to happen, for the worst to happen. Because when you
really look at life, all the money, material things and dreams we all search after
could not save one small girl. |

 Robin had the worst leukemia UCLA Medical Center had ever seen. Robin
was sicker than you could believe. And Robin didn't have any time. So, it's like,
the song is really about the fact that it's very hard to be a rock 'n' roll singer.
It's Sharon Celani, Sandy Stewart, Lori Perry and Stevie Nicks. It's the ones
who sing at night/The ones that you dream of because we don't have any time. |

I spent about 3 hours the other ~ a couple of days ago ~ in my bathroom with
the [Wild Heart] album ~ just reading it, you know, in the middle of the
night by myself,

just
reading every little word, going, 'it's real.' And, I thought, you know, the dedication
to Robin...her strength, you know. Uh, maybe, maybe Nightbird, you know,
will inspire somebody. Maybe it will, maybe it will inspire somebody else to go
and do some research. Maybe it will make somebody be a doctor. You know, maybe
some kid will go I'm gonna do cancer research and I'm gonna beat leukemia. That's
what I hope that maybe Sandy [Stewart] and I did with Nightbird.
