Yes, but the bloke sung about in the song wasn't named, so it could have been anyone. And I remember reading that most people thought it was about Warren Beatty, after initially being led on a false trail to Mick Jagger, as he was singing backing vocal on the song.

Apparently she isn't going to reveal the name of the guy concerned until he is dead, out of respect.
Oh well, at least we know it wasn't Ronald Reagan!

It has been revealed!! Well, partially :shock: . She auctioned herself for Dinner last year and that whoever was the highest bidder could have dinner with her and the other part was she would reveal to them and them alone, who she was singing about. However, they were not allowed to reveal who it was either!! bugger!!!
Odds on it was Warren though!! lol

I'm reminded of what Don Maclean said when asked what "American Pie" meant.
"It means I'll never have to go to work again"
