Miranda is not a real person
I don't feel that Miranda is anyone in particular.
Rather, she is an idealisation of the needy, addictive, self deluding, self destructive woman who is all too common in Lindsey's world. He is, after all, exactly the kind of man such women would love, worship, hate and fear.
It is a cliche that all Lindsey's songs are about Stevie, but in this case, Stevie fits as well as anyone.
If her friends hadn't rushed her off to the Betty Ford clinic, she would not have survived the eighties.
But as I say, there must have been many Stevies in Lindsey's life.
