I'm surprised no one has mentioned the most obvious one--Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire," which mentions about 5 dozen famous folks among other things.

We're an American Band-Grand Funk Railroad
Out on the road for forty days Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze Sweet, sweet Connie was doin' her act She had the whole show and that's a natural fact Up all night with Freddie King I got to tell you, poker's his thing Booze and ladies, keep me right As long as we can make it to the show tonight We're an American band We're an American band We're comin' to your town We'll help you party down We're an American band etc.... Don't know about Freddie King, but Connie was legendary as a girl living in Little Rock who would have sex with anybody and everybody in a bands' road show to get to the stars and bed them. She was quite successful and became '"known" for her efforts,:JEKYLHYDE New bands came to view her as a sign of making it, and she accumulated a lot of "notches on her lipstick case.":p I remember seeing her on a talk show years ago. More recently she was included in an edition of Insomniac with Dave Atell, aired on Comedy Central Network. Dave was out all night in Little Rock and squeezed in a visit with Connie. Dave and Connie did spend a liittle time behind a closed bedroom door!:eek: She had aged better than you might expect with all the "mileage" on her. Fast Farmer |

My Ride's Here -- Warren Zevon
I was staying at the Marriott With Jesus and John Wayne I was waiting for a chariot They were waiting for a train The sky was full of carrion "I'll take the mazuma" Said Jesus to Marion "That's the 3:10 to Yuma My ride's here..." The Houston sky was changeless We galloped through bluebonnets I was wrestling with an angel You were working on a sonnet You said, "I believe the seraphim Will gather up my pinto And carry us away, Jim Across the San Jacinto My ride's here..." Shelley and Keats were out in the street And even Lord Byron was leaving for Greece While back at the Hilton, last but not least Milton was holding his sides Saying, "You bravos had better be ready to fight Or we'll never get out of East Texas tonight The trail is long and the river is wide And my ride's here" I was staying at the Westin I was playing to a draw When in walked Charlton Heston With the Tablets of the Law He said, "It's still the Greatest Story" I said, "Man, I'd like to stay But I'm bound for glory I'm on my way My ride's here..." |
