The song was written about Lindsey Buckingham like the majority of Stevie's songs are. You have to understand the history between Stevie and Lindsey and then you'll began to understand the meaning of their songs, which tend to be about each other. The song, "No Questions Asked" is no exception. The time period was 1988 and Lindsey had left the band only months earlier mid -1987, after the completion of the "Tango in the Night" album. His departure from Fleetwood Mac was an acrimonious one and by all accounts it got physical between Stevie and Lindsey. Needless to say the animosity between them would wane, as indicated by Lindsey's appearance at Mick Fleetwood's wedding in April / 1988. Lindsey and Stevie posed for a photograph at the wedding and it was clear the two had made amends. This is also the time period, when Stevie's health and personal life would be in shambles. She was plagued with drug and alcohol abuse, along with depression. Her escape was her song writing, which often took her back to happier times, when her and Lindsey were a happy couple living together in the late 60's and early 70's (in San Francisco). They had nothing but each other and had remained that way for the better part of 7 years, before joining Fleetwood Mac. The song "No Questions Asked" are about the moments, when Stevie simply misses Lindsey being around. How she can't escape his "hold on her," and the same could be said about Lindsey too. The two could go years without speaking but always tend to gravitate back to one another, which is exactly what happened in 1993. Fleetwood Mac was offered a chance to play at the President Clinton's inauguration but the problem was Lindsey was no longer part the band and the Clintons wanted the "core" five (Mick, John, Christine, Stevie, and Lindsey) present. It was Stevie, who convinced Lindsey to play at the inauguration, which at first Lindsey said no, but Stevie threatened that she would never speak to him again, if he ruined this opportunity for her. Lindsey conceded. Stevie's song "Blue Denim" describes how, after the inauguration concert was over, Lindsey departed without really saying a word. These two have been continuing their "doomed" love affair through their music, which Stevie has described as a testament to their love for each other. In 1997, Lindsey would rejoin the band for the album "The Dance." They (Fleetwood Mac) would go on to release another album in 2003 "Say You Will" (without Christine McVie, who retired but would come back in 2014). And of course, Lindsey would be fired from the band in 2018, after Stevie gave the band an ultimatum "Lindsey or me," they chose the latter. Apparently, Lindsey and Stevie had gotten into yet another dispute over, who knows what, but it was serious enough to get Lindsey Fired. SOOOOOO, here we go again!
