Eve Babitz (1943–2021) was an American author and artist best known for her semi-fictionalised memoirs of Los Angeles in the 1970s.

 

Jim Morrison wrote a song about her, Ed Ruscha romanced her, and she played chess with Marcel Duchamp nude en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Babitz

 

L.A. Woman is a song by the American rock band the Doors. The song is the title track of their 1971 album L.A. Woman, the final album to feature Jim Morrison before his death on July 3, 1971. In 2014, LA Weekly named it the all-time best song written about the city of Los Angeles.

 

“Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow”
