.......about Jane......

Post by shadow »

Guys, i have a question for you. It's just a curiosity i keeping for several years. The question is: Do you know if Jane, the girl of Ballad of Jane by Los Angeles Guns is the same girl?

I've got this doubt since that day, cause the city is the same, the name is the same, saying the music scene was the same it's not correct but somehow both of band from the same city, the years were the same....

What do you think? Yes of course, my english is bad but i'm sure you understand my question, if you know.....thanks bye.....

I don't think it is shadow.
I found this about the song
This is about Jayne Mansfield, a blonde bombshell who was a popular actress and pin-up girl in the '50s and '60s. She was often compared to Marilyn Monroe, and also died young. Mansfield was killed in a car accident when she was 34: "Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven."

The L.A. Guns song is indeed about Jayne Mansfield, and the correct song title is "Ballad of Jayne"

I remember Phil Lewis being interviewed about the subject matter on 'Jayne' back in the day, and he seemed open to interpretations on it.

Guys I thank you...it was only a double trouble, but as you know rock star has always a flirt with the same girl. Thinking about Stiv Bators, Steven Tyler and supermodel Bebe Buell.....just to legitimate my doubt..thanks............bye!
