Its not specifically "about" anyone. Dylan's never given a straight explanation (he rarely does anyway) so anything is speculation. Doubt Dylan would be as transparent to write a song dressed up in imagery like that and then put the real subject's name in it. Its a bit like the school of thought that Mick would write a song about Angie Bowie and use her real name - a bit of a flawed argument because the lyrics of the song suggest they had a relationship, which is somewhat doubtful!

About Angie-- Mick found a breakup letter from Bowie to Angela, which is what I've heard inspired the song.

Mick must have told about twenty different stories regarding the source of inspiration for that one (I must admit, thats the first time I've heard THAT one, though..)

Still seriously doubt he'd use the subject's real name in a song lyric, though. Not his style.

Song For Keith - Ryan Adams .....well it's a song about Keith.

Pretty sure it's only available on the B-side of Nuclear - UK limited edition 7"

Song For Keith - Ryan Adams


Sitting round thinking ‘bout Keith all day long
Getting stoned thinking ‘bout how he played the guitar
Ain't nothing like getting stoned to The Rolling Stones
Can't find my copy of Goats Head Soup
Think it's under my clothes
Having drinks taking some pills and playing in ‘A'
Dressing up pretending it's 1973
Ain't nothing like getting stoned to the Rolling Stones
Go get my copy of Let It Bleed
I got some papers and weed
God damnit where are my smokes?
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
Ronnie Wood back when he had his Own Album To Do
Was pretty good but dammit I love Mick Taylor too
Ain't nothing like getting high spinning Love You Live
Making out with some movie star
I'd rather listen to Exile
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
Baby

Woo-hoo-hoo Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo Woo-hoo-hoo

Funny lyrics!

Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Loverly

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are

You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs

And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your name, it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha

They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn

Where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head

(na na-na-na na na-na-na na-na na na na na)
(na na-na-na na na-na-na na-na na na na na

Bruce Springsteen's "All The Way Home" off the Devils & Dust album cites the line, "Now it's some old Stones song the band is trashin'".

There's also Peter Starsted's "Where do you go to?" which has the line, "...where you keep all your Rolling Stones records".

No

Now, this is a good thread!

Here's one: "Mick Jagger killed Brian Jones" by...can't remember their name.

Angie is Keiths song mainly is it not? Keith mumbling "Anita I need you" became Angie although there's probably a bit of Bowie in it.

No, it's a line off of "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc.

I remember a Sex Pistols song where Lydon calls Mick Jagger a white nigger. Can't remember the title.

>> Angie ... Keith mumbling "Anita I need you" <<

yeah sure - another of Nick Kent's famous BS tales. too bad he got the wrong song, isn't it?
(try Happy - and it's hardly "mumbled".)
as for Angie: Keith's new (at the time) daughter was originally named Dandelion Angela.
i guess they could've called this tune Dandy, but ... they didn't. :E

There is a line in a recent Lenny Kravitz song: "....Listening to the Rolling Stones... " I can't remember the name of the song but is a simple catchy tune from his latest album. In the video he is plying with his band in a garage or something and sort of a surf song.

Cheers,

Michel Delpech "Ma pauvre cecile". There is a sentence about Mick's death.

Here's one nobody's mentioned:

Paul Simon's 1983 album Hearts and Bones concludes with a song called "The Late Great Johnny Ace" which has a line that goes "It was the year of the Beatles, it was the year of the Stones, it was 1964." The final verse tells the story of how Paul was informed (by a stranger on the street) of John Lennon's murder. The track and the album then ends with with some creepy Phillip Glass weirdness. Paul performed this song at the Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central Park in 1981 and just as he began the verse about Lennon, a guy walked on stage and came right toward Paul saying "I have to talk to you. I have to talk to you" before being dragged off by security. VERY scarey moment!

I remember watching that on Tv (I was amazed they didnt edit it out). To say the guy 'walked' on stage might be a stretch - it looked less casual than that. You could tell Simon was scared shitless by it.

Sophie B Hawkins- "Dam, I wish I was your love" mentions the Stones.

"If I was your girl believe me. I'd turn on the Rolling Stones we could grove along and feel much better"

As a matter of fact, I think Hawkins was either a background singer or opened up some dates for the Stones years ago.

Jimmy Webb's "Too Young To Die" contains the lyric, "With 'Sticky Fingers' turned up real loud, we flirted with catastrophe, we were doin' everything that's not allowed, life didn't come with a warranty."

That was wierd. I remember, whilst they were taking him away, the guy was shouting, "I just wanna talk!".

I wanna rock and roll, wanna sell my soul
sail the TV round the swimming pool
I want my name in lights
a la Johnny B. Goode
be an all night loon like Ronnie Wood

(chorus from Quo's "I don't remember any more")


You might have to scrape me off the floor at the end of the tour, but it'll be really good scrapings. - Mick Jagger

We have a Ronnie Wood reference!!!

If you take the title of Led Zep's Richie Valens ripoff, "Boogie with Stu" you've got one more.


But nothing on Mick Taylor yet...

Alan Jackson, Don't Rock the Jukebox

Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear George Jones
Cause my heart ain’t ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don’t feel like rocking
Since my baby’s gone
So don’t rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

Has anybody mentioned "Smoke On The Water"?

"Kow Tow" - Mick says "the wicked lay Stones in my path".
"Like A Rolling Stone"
"Cover ofThe Rolling Stone(s)" - yeah, I know it's about the magazine.
An old 80's song I heard one time - "Keith Richards Knows" ??? Not sure about the title.

On a related topic, does anyone remember the song "Red Blue Jeans"? - Had the line "Lennon (or Lenin) in her locket".

The Bodeans have an album entitled "Love and Hope and Sex and Dreams"...
