The chapters varied a lot in how interesting they were. ( )

The Girl in the Song: The Stories Behind 50 Rock Classics, a companion piece to The Boy in the Song: The True Stories Behind 50 Rock Classics
is an enlightening mini trek into rock history (144 pg)
It's not designed to be an exhaustive reference book but it’s a researched book of musical trivia for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Who's the girl in that song?”

Some I easily knew: It Ain't Me Babe (Bob Dylan) and some I found a bit more difficult: Rosanna (Toto)
"Author Michael Heatley explains how each woman inspired the song written about her, when the song was released, and the impact it had on the charts, the performer, and the woman."

There is also mini bio of the muse in that particular song.

An enjoyable read! ★ ★ ★ ★ ( )

Cute stories, but I would have preferred a chronological order rather than by song title. ( )

Very slight but sweet book explaining the inspirations for (obviously) 50 classic pops songs. No huge suprises but some sweet (and bittersweet) stories, along with beautiful B&W photos. A great gift for your favourite songwriter. ( )
