Natgry is almost right. This song is about Norman Mailer and Marylin Monroe, but it is also "a kiss off" of his exwife, the mother of Jordan Zevon. After the breakup of Zevon and his first wife, he found out that she was sleeping with another musician, and in the liner notes of "Warren Zevon" (the new version) Jordan says that his mother confessed to him before she passed that the song was a "fuck you" to her for sleeping with this other musician.
Small point, but that woman, Tule, never was actually married to Warren. He had many girlfriends but only one actual wife in his lifetime, Crystal Zevon.
