the only ones i am aware of are:

sugar daddy - mick
little lies - lindsey
songbird - her dog / john
ricky - richard dashut (thanks to mary anne for that!)

does anyone know of others? has she ever specifically mentioned writing something for stevie?

just curious!

Btw, he's full of sh*t, IMO.
Maybe Cocaine Daddy, or Bankruptcy for Dummies, Daddy.

I've never heard her say anything about "Sugar Daddy". Where did you hear this, Aisling?

LMAO "bankruptcy for dummies daddy" !!!!!

sorry, i meant oh daddy as homer pointed out. but it would be interesting to know who sugar daddy was about! probably her dog again.

That's my opinion on what "Sugar Daddy" is about. Not *about* anybody, just thinking wishfully (and playfully).

i believe the first source that AliP credits, "up close", is the interview i was thinking about. i tried to look for it in the BLA, but couldn't find it. i actually think the date may not be 87, but more like 89. if anyone has more info, let us know! if not, i'll try looking again tomorrow.
