Taken from Wikipedia (So treat with caution) - Popular belief has it that the song was about David Bowie's first wife Angela or even about actress Angie Dickinson. Another belief was that the song was about Richards' daughter Dandelion Angela who had just been born.[3] The song was written almost entirely both lyrically and musically by Keith Richards and in Richards' own biography he claims that the name Angie is a pseudonym for heroin and his attempt to quit while detoxing in Switzerland.

2 days ago, I had absolutely no interest in this song but found a tutorial DVD and learnt to play it before I'd even heard the song (which I love BTW).
