    New game! Name girls/women referenced in 97's lyrics

    Okay, here's my idea for a new game ... It's obvious the band has a ton of songs that include the name of a girl/woman, whether that be in the title (duh) or mentioned eslewhere as a character in the story/song. 


    WITHOUT LOOKING OR LISTENING, name a female character referenced in one song with a brief explanation of how/where it's used.


    I'll go first: 


    CELESTE  (name of the girl in "Timebomb" who's gonna kill him, and I don't mean softly)

    A pretty obvious one is Salome, from the song "Salome"

    OK, thanks for letting me do this one:  Adelaide, from the eponymous song.  She is the burned out girl who was made to be broken, that Rhett used to have (and she had so much promise then).

    So, this isn't strictly following the rules of the game, but I heard that Rollerskate Skinny is about Winona Ryder, whom Rhett used to date.  Can anyone confirm or deny this?  That's not technically the name of a girl in a song, but it's the best I can come up with at the moment.

    Erica.

    Rhett changed the words to America The Beautiful and sang it during solo shows a few years back.  Can't remember if Rhett was married to Erica yet or just dating.

     

    Erica, oh Erica, God sure did great on thee!

    Not sure about the Winona Ryder angle (she's done alright for herself btw - Rhett and Johnny Depp!!!), but would you accept "Mama" from their cover of "Mama tried"?  Scraping the bottom, I know...

    Re: New game! Name girls/women referenced in 97's lyrics

    "Coahuila" -- good one!

    "Mama Tried" gets a 1/2 point.  ;-)

    Also for half-credit, post your Rhett Miller solo mentions ...

    SUZANNE  ("Help me, Suzanne")

    I think Rhett went on one date with Wynona Ryder.  I'm pretty sure I read that in an interview he did.

    So if Rhett solo gets half points I will capitalize on This is What I Do

    I'll stray into the cover tune El Paso on Hit By a Train:

     Music would play and Felina would whirl.
