You are saying that Lita is Roxy? (I think your whole middle name theory is a bit of a stretch bty)...
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go
Although the story fits the last verse, it also fits with every other groupie during that time. If you listen to the demo version, instead of "Before it's time to go" the lyric is "something that show"
In summary, I don't think the entire song is about her. It could have sparked that lyric or verse but my interpretation is, it's just a day in a life type song.
The event happened two years after the fact and there was an album in between.

Do you know when the demo was recorded? That could give a clue - but yes, am guessing it could just be about anyone indeed. The reference to the Broadway makes it to me more likely (and less likely that it's LA). Plus, the fact that the name of the girl is Roxie. I mean - of all cover name they could have made up, that is a great one for Lita. There was Roxy Petrucci in Vixen at the same time....anyway, it's all just a theory obviously unless Bon Jovi themselves ever said something.
