This always cracks me up. For YEARS many fans have been asking who Linda is, but it is of course it's London that she's dedicating the song to (that's where they were when it was recorded). The same deal with the Red Rocks performance of "No Spoken Word" where there are people (I'm sure some in this very forum) who insist she is saying "Well I don't know how to learn from the pages of a motherf**king book!!" When in fact she is saying/slurring "Well I don't know how to learn, not from the pages of a book!!" The word "of" is drawn out. Which is how she sang it on the entire tour.
