These are the women who inspired guys to make memorable music about them
| | patti boyd-probably the queen of muses. has inspired three songs about her sweet self. First-"Something" by the Beatles, specifically first hubby George Harrison. Her second husband Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" about his tortured feelings about romancing his best friend's wife. It did not stop him from marrying Patti and writing her third song "You Look Lovely Tonight". |
| | erin everly-inspired Axl Rose and Guns N Roses to do "Sweet Child o' Mine" for her. However, relationship ended badly. |
| | Stephanie Seymour- inspired Axl Rose and his band to do "November Rain" for her. However, this relationship went into the trash can too. Maybe Axl should stop writing about lady friends. |
| | Kim Scott Mathers-her on and off husband Eminem wrote "Kim" for her.Hey, I didn't say they were all love songs. |
| | Rosanna Arquette-dating a guy in the band Toto resulted in "Rosanna". Where is Toto these days? Does Rosanna know? Or even care? |
| | Chrissie Shrimpton-Jean's younger sister who felt then boyfriend Mick Jagger wrote "Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" about her. She was not pleased. |
| | Be My Baby- Phil Spector produced this song for the Ronettes and to impress the lead singer Ronnie who he later married. Again proving that beautiful music does not mean a happy ending. |
| | Linda McCartney-inspired a whole slew of love songs from husband Paul from "Maybe I'm Amazed" to "Lovely Linda". I'm betting his second wife Heather will not get the same treatment. |
| | Warren Beatty- not a woman, but a muse nontheless-- said by some to have inspired Carly Simon to write "You're So Vain" |
