The Girl in The Song: The True Stories Behind 50 Rock Classics, by Michael Heatley

The Girl in the Song: The Stories Behind 50 Rock Classics Pretty interesting run-through of many of the great songs-about-a-girl, and what really happened.
Mia Farrow, Janis Joplin, Angie Bowie, and of course Patti Boyd, but also some more obscure random ones, who themselves were surprised to find themselves immortalized in music- the funniest, I think, was from the Rikki who inspired "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"- she had promptly lost his number, and hadn't thought of him again, and the saddest was definitely Suzanne from Leonard Cohen's Suzanne, who is apparently homeless and/or missing.
