Lindsey's ladies

[DownOnRodeo]

Are there any other Lindsey songs that include a woman's name in the title or lyrics?

Lola - reference unclear
Stephanie - Stevie Nicks
Mary Lee Jones - reference unclear
Oh Diane - reference unclear
Caroline - Carol Anne Harris
Miranda - probably Anne Heche
(see lyrics speculation at this bn.net page)
"Annie" in Down On Rodeo - Anne Heche

Any songs I'm missing?
No overt reference to Cheri Caspari?

All help appreciated.

Almost all or all of Go Insane is directed at Carol Anne, the use of a female name is largely absent though.

I can't think of any others. I think "Lola" was just a name that sounded cool and you could play with in a song ("Lo, lo, lo...") - perhaps inspired by "Layla" - and was not in reference to a particular girl named Lola, but I have nothing to base that on.

well, by that standard almost all or all of Rumours and Tusk are directed at Stevie.

Much of his recent solo stuff was to do with his wife.

Much of Tango was to do with Carol as well. (Big Love, Tango in the Night, etc)

Thank you, ladies and gents.

Also I misspelt Harris' name--she doesn't have a silent e on her middle name.


A different topic for a different forum, but it's mildly interesting how each of the Rumours lineup albums includes a song title that is a woman's name (and never a man's name)--with the exception of Rumours itself.

Rhiannon
Sara
Diane
Caroline
Miranda

Is the Ricky B-side the only Rumours lineup song with a man's name in the title?

Should we count "Murrow" as released during the Rumours era?

Good thinking! Maybe I was thinking too much about first names.

I guess Lindsey decided that "Ed Turning Over In His Grave" didn't have quite the same groove to it.
