i reckon trent thought she would think its about her at the very least! I always took it as aimed at groupies rather then the esteemed miss love though.

bit of lyrical plagiarism going on there innit

 

[kained&able]

[purplex]

although the acronym in the title sort of does

It does indeed, how very perceptive

 

[rollinder]

Kevin Ayers - Oh Wot A Dream is also about Syd Barrett

 

[badseed]

The Mission - Wake is about Eldritch
Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion is about Hussey

Both shite

 

[SpookyFrank]

Don McLean - American Pie. S'about Buddy Holly init.

"Beatle Bum" - Blur (about Liam Gallagher?)

 

[seeformiles]

yeah. im pretty sure it is.

Don't think is was as she was married to him at the time. It's always been a toss-up between Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty (but she's always been coy about who! )

Oasis - Cast No Shadow (Richard Ashcroft)

 

[electrogirl]

"Beatle Bum" - Blur (about Liam Gallagher?)

It's about drugs i think

Jagger does the backing vocals on 'you're so vain', so I guess that excludes him - Ive always understood it was about warren beaty.

Bowie's Jean-jeanie is about iggy pop - apparently

Who are You? by the Who is partly about a drunken encounter between townshend and the Sex Pistols.

I heard that Jagger sang on it precisely because he thought it was about him but took the hump when he found out it wasn't!

There's a long list of suspects here and she ain't on it

I'd be pretty suprised if it was about dear joan - considering it was dylan who used her and then ditched her.
