The Jimi Hendrix song Dolly Dagger is about a girlfriend and the line “she drinks her blood from a jagged edge” refers to the time she sucked Mick Jaggers bleeding finger seductively in front of Jimi.

“MY SHARONA by The Knack?
Some underage high school chickie. I realize Iâ€™m working without a net here, but Iâ€™ll bet her name was Sharona :)”

Correct! Her name is Sharona Alperin, and she was singer Doug Fieger’s underage high school girlfriend.

She’s a real estate agent now, and her website? You guessed it: mysharona.com

Everyone beat me to the whole Harrison/Clapton/Boyd story & songs.

My favorite John Lennon song that he wrote for Yoko is “Woman”. Wish I could have something so beautiful written for me.

I would like to add “Donna” by Ritchie Valens to this list. It was written for his high school sweetheart Donna Ludwig. But more importantly, to me at least, is that Donna is my mother’s name. My parents were/are high school sweethearts old enough that this song was a hit during their early years. It’s very sweet (and also embarrassing) when my dad sings along whenever he hears that song.

I think the most amazing part of the Clapton/Harrison/Boyd triangle was the fact that Clapton and Harrison stayed friends till the end. That George was really one laid-back dude.

That Pattie Boyd, man. Layla, Wonderful Tonight, Bell Bottom Blues, and Something were all written about her.

Wish it was me, haha.
