All the songs of his early period (Armed Forces era) were about Bebe Buell, ex-girlfriend of Todd Rundgren and former Playmate of the Year. All that Sturm und Drang of his early years - the menace, the love-hate relationships he sang about - were about her. She saw the PR potential of their relationship, the angry nerd rock-god and the bombshell beauty ("you just want to use me"). He was never sure if that was ALL she saw in him and, even so, he couldn't resist her beauty and despised himself for it.
