I was listening to the Ryan Adams tune "Song for Keith", and I just love it so much. I get such a kick out of it. He also did a song about Alanis Morissette called "Alanis". It got me wondering as to what other songs are out there that are about other musicians. So...if you know some, share them. If you have the lyrics, please post those as well...as I will do. A thank ya!

"Song for Keith"
Sitting 'round, thinking 'bout Keith all day long
Getting stoned, thinking 'bout how he played the guitar
Ain't nothing like getting stoned to The Rolling Stones
Can't find my copy of Goat's Head Soup
Think it's under my clothes
Having drinks, taking some pills and playing in A
Dressing up, pretending it's 1973
Ain't nothing like getting stoned to The Rolling Stones
Go get my copy of Let It Bleed
I got some papers and weed
Goddammit, where are my smokes?
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
Ronnie Wood back when he had his Own Album To Do
Was pretty good, but dammit I love Mick Taylor too
Ain't nothing like getting high, spinning Love You Live
Making out with some movie star
I'd rather listen to Exile
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith
This ain't nothing but a song for Keith

"Alanis" (only performed live, so these lyrics may vary)
Here comes the sun
She's playing guitar
And I wanted you to want me somehow
So here comes the moon
Soft silhouette
And I wanted you to love me, did you forget?
Go on and ask me to dance
Go on and ask me to dance
I just might
I just might for you
Alanis, ragdoll marionette
Hello, can you hear me?
Hello, can you hear me?
Alanis, Alanis
So here comes the part
The part with the strings
Broken hearts laid on old wooden machines
So here comes your girl
Pretty as fuck
Her eyes, they're universes that the galaxies forgot
So go on and ask me to dance
Go on and ask me to dance
And I just might
I just might for you
Alanis, ragdoll marionette
Hello, can you hear me?
Hello, can you hear me?
Hello, can you hear me?
Alanis, Alanis, Alanis
