I heard on Eagle 107.5 in Houston that the song was about a woman Lightfoot had dated, and I guess had dumped. And that she was the woman who killed John Belushi by shooting him up with drugs.

Is that true??

According to Wikipedia, yes. She was a groupie and drug addict.

Good Lord.

I never knew that. Always thought Belushi just OD'd.

Well, he did. He was a huge drug addict and abusing both coke and heroin. He did ask that woman, another huge drug addict, to shoot him up with speedballs multiple times that night. Dangerous to make decisions as a huge addict and then rely on another huge addict to safely administer drugs to you. Yes, she shot him up with the speedball that killed him. But he wanted that shot, I don't think she did it against his wishes. She went to jail for involuntary manslaughter about 4 years after the death.

I saw some kind of hour long trash piece on his death years ago, and Robin Williams had stopped by Belushi's room that night and was horrified with the trashy woman that Belushi was shooting up with. I don't know if R.W. was sober by 1982, but my first thought was "Are your junkie friends all that much classier?"

Looking out my window I've got snow (username checks out) and 10 foot waves rolling in from a NW gale. Maybe this is Gordon protesting over his recent state of affairs?
