and we have to remember that as a musician you someimes just choose names that fit into the rhyme ...
Folks familiar with Mould's oeuvre - from his days in seminal punk rock band Husker Du, through the rise of alt-rock faves Sugar, and his ongoing work as a club DJ - may recognize a few of these tunes already. "City Lights," "The Breach," and "I'm Sorry, Baby, But You Can't Stand In My Light Any More" were all road-tested when he toured in support of his 2007 retrospective DVD Circle of Friends. Two years later, "Sorry, Baby," and the careful way its concerns turn as the song advances, remain disarming. The title...

hm... true but Rosemary doesn't particularly rhyme with the rest of the song, and is not so common a name...
so it can be THAT Rosemary, but even so it doesn't mean that every line is about her. Songs can be like dreams where someone you know well sometimes has a different name, for some reason...

and the rest of the lines quoted by mikevox call to mind someone else, just like:
"living in the shadow" and "Where do you go when no one's following you?"
yep, great song, my favorite with I Should Have Known
the "Youth ain't gonna change the way you die" line could also be like, I guess a blast on super health conscious people? Like, even if you live super healthy, you're still going to die someday. Morbid, but idk, if you think of the "truth ain't gonna change the way you lie" part as being like, even if you start telling the truth, any lie you told before will still hurt... it kinda makes sense.
Maybe only to me though :P

On the Foo Fighters documentary, "Back and Forth", Dave Grohl says, "When you meet someone that really helped you become the musician that you are, I really think it's important to acknowledge that. Bob's voice is so signature, and to have him come to my fn' house and do it on my fn' record, blows me away." This quote along with a very interesting insight as to the method of songwriting used by Grohl can be found on the documentary...
