[edit] Interpretations

When asked about the song in an interview with Courtney Love for SPIN magazine in (October, 1997), Nicks said:

“ You know what, Courtney? I don't really know what ‘Gold Dust Woman’ is about. I know there was cocaine there and that I fancied it gold dust, somehow. I'm going to have to go back to my journals and see if I can pull something out about ‘Gold Dust Woman.’ Because I don't really know. It's weird that I'm not quite sure. It can't be all about cocaine. ”
