Billy Joel - She’s Got a Way

Isn’t it secretly the dream of most women to inspire someone to write a song like that about them? I think of that everytime I hear this song. 

Pattie Boyd lived the dream:

“the first wife of George Harrison, of The Beatles after which she married Eric Clapton. She was the inspiration of love songs written by both musicians. Harrison wrote, “Something”, and “What is Life”, while Clapton wrote, “Layla”, and “Wonderful Tonight”.”

“Layla” is one of my all-time favorite songs!

But I really don’t envy Pattie.  She had it rough.  Her husbands cheated on her repeatedly and her marriages fell apart.  Very sad for her.
