I LOVE the Stones AND Bowie!And this is one of their greatest ever!Anyway,It is definately about Angie Bowie.So says Mick,Bill Wyman,David AND Angie Bowie!
If you could provide evidence to back up your claim, that would be great. It really only matters what Mick and Keith said, since they wrote it. Please provide references for where either one of them says the song is about Angela Bowie. It is not about her. I repeat, it is not about her. It is for Keith's woman, Anita.

@bannelee@songman3367 What's your evidence that it's about Keith's romantic partner Anita? I don't mean that defiantly but just curious. Certainly when the song first came out a lot of us back then thought it was about Angie Bowie. Rumors abounded that Mick had bedded each of the Bowies.

Keith cleared it up in his 2010 autobiography Life, where he wrote: "While I was in the [Vevey drug] clinic (in March-April 1972), Anita was down the road having our daughter, Angela. Once I came out of the usual trauma, I had a guitar with me and I wrote 'Angie' in an afternoon, sitting in bed, because I could finally move my fingers and put them in the right place again, and I didn't...

I just went, 'Angie, Angie.' It was not about any particular person; it was a name, like ohhh, Diana. I didn't know Angela was going to be called Angela when I wrote 'Angie.' In those days you didn't know what sex the thing was going to be until it popped out." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
