Well, you cared enough to bring it up, and I cared enough to spend a couple of minutes seeing if it was true.
From an article about the song:
“When we interviewed Rickie Lee Jones in 2017, we asked about the rumors that this song was about her. “Ha!” was her reply. “I hadn’t heard that.”
I don’t care. It was a 40 year old rumor. I should have looked it up or put it as a rumor
No one cares.
