Song Title: Junkie Diva

"Everybody thinks it's about Amy Winehouse! Well, OK. Firstly, it's not about a specific person, it's more about the obsessive fan than about the diva. It's more about the way that people project what they want to see on certain figures, and the way that they live things vicariously through their heroes or idols, and they want to go places where they can't go themselves, literally or figuratively. But that's really what the song is about, and as far as who the diva is, when I was writing it, I was thinking about Billie Holiday."—Joe Jackson [form an Interview with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 22 Oct. 2015]
