The Woman in "Norwegian Wood"

John Lennon admitted that his great song "Norwegian Wood" was about a
real affair, and that he deliberately added ambiguities (my word, not
his) to the lyrics to disguise the real events -- to add "gobbledygook."
He eventually admitted that the woman was journalist Maureen Cleave, who
undoubtedly spent time with Lennon.  She wrote the piece
 "How A Beatle Lives" -- a depiction of a bored, lazy, lethargic man who
admits the only physical activity he has any interest in is sex.
Cleave denied that they had had an affair.
