From the liner notes on SONGBOOK:
"1/10. GO-GO ROUND
I was hanging out with Ronnie Hawkins and his group. A great teacher and all-around good guy. He was playing a place downtown that had girls in gilded cages who would dance while the band played. It was about dealing with feelings of a go-go dancer, falling in love. And then, of course, she gets left holding the bag. This one got played by Scott Muni on WNEW; he was always very good to us."
******************************************
Doesn't sound like it was one particular girl. He gets his inspiration from all over, "what if"-ing like any good writer.
