Is Rosie in the song 'Whole Lotta Rosie' a real person?




[Info taken from 'Shock To The System' by Mark Putterford]


Yes. Bon wrote the song about a huge Tasmanian woman he had shared a 'wild time' with in Melbourne. Interestingly, the band ran into her again in Hobart, Tasmania...but she had lost a lot of weight and Bon was disappointed that she was no longer the '42-39-56' that he remembered. She did know the song was about her, and took it as a compliment.
