On the above ...I always knew Memory Motel was Mick about Linda Ronstadt. Maybe Keith was reflecting on Anita for his little counterpoint

I always thought it was about MICK's relationship with Carly Simon. She's from the Boston area. He sang back-up vocals on Your So Vain.

Why do people on this board always think every song is about someone real? And by this I mean every single time. Jagger himself has admitted that he rarely writes about real people. I listen to these songs and rarely think they are about real people.

I guess, we will never know, but some seem to be related to a real person or situation in their lives. Playing Angie live in 2017, Keith went to his knees at the end of the song, and then quickly to the back of the stage, and it seemed he was crying. For me, clearly a sing, that this song is closely related to Anita who had had passed away only a short time earlier.
Their sure are others that are not related to some one in particular, just capturing a certain mood one of them was in when writing the lyrics.
