Good one, Sue! This song was actually the song most likely to be put on a compilation 
tape back in the latter 70's. 

A brilliant song, my own take on it is that it's not "about" anybody in particular, 
but rather like so many of Joni's songs is more of a pastiche of people, times, and 
images.

Although I do have to say I can relate to this lyric:

"Grow up!" I cried
And as the smoke was clearing he said
"Give me one good reason why"

Bob, growing older but not "up"

NP: Smashmouth, "Your Man"
