Could be something as simple as a faulty or sketchy memory.  Some things he 
is asked about in interviews occurred many, many years ago.  And frankly I 
imagine public/press put a lot more emphasis on the details of some issues than EC 
does. 

Granted some events are more important and thus better to easily remember.  
That said I suspect there might be some kind of mix up concerning WT as I would 
think he would remember some of the specifics such as where and when that 
song was written - but maybe not.

Also could be that both stories are partially accurate.  Lyrics written at 
home waiting on Pattie.  Finished putting the actual music to the lyrics at 
Ronnie Lane's pad?  Just a thought...............
