Bands about people, interesting. By the way which one's Pink?
I'll Take "Songs About People" for $200
Truth be told there really was no Maybellene, but Chuck made her sound like a real person when she started doing the things she used to do. And there was also no Layla, but there clearly was Patty Harrison with the name changed to protect the innocent. Was there a ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann or even a Caroline to say no to? I don't know, but I do know that there was a real Prudence of Beatles fame. And there really was an Elizabeth Reed. So my question is, what are other songs that feature the name of a person in its lyrics are actually about real people?

Not Robbie Robertson, onhwy61. He’s a capitalist through and through, and doesn't believe in sharing the wealth ;-). Maybe Rick Danko---he found and rented BP, in which he, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson lived (Levon Helm was still in the Gulf, working on an oil rig). I believe Fanny in "The Weight" was a friend in Woodstock, but I don’t know about Carmen, Miss Moses, Anna-Lee, and Crazy Chester. The Devil? Oh, he’s real all right, and Robbie’s going to be meeting him fairly soon. |
bdp24, seat yourself down and have a cigar. Wait, may be you're right -- there are clearly horns coming out of his head. |
