I read that Maria Elena, the widow of Buddy Holly, is suing Peggy Sue.
Peggy Sue is the name of one of Holly’s classic records. Peggy Sue was a real person. She married the drummer in Holly’s band, Jerry Allison. They since divorced.
Now, 49 years after Holly died, his widow is suing Peggy Sue over the contents of a book in which Peggy Sue claims to have known Buddy Holly. How sad. Two women fighting over how to continue making money out of a man they each only knew for a few months, half a century ago.
What next?
Little Suzie suing the Everly Brothers because she was awake all the time and enjoyed the film?
Long Tall Sally suing Little Richard because she says she is in fact only of average height.
Skinnie Minnie suing the estate of Bill Haley because he was insulting about her anorexia?
Maybelene suing Chuck Berry because he accused her of being untruthful and unreliable. (And for harrassing her in a car chase!)
And imagine the money Delilah’s family could make if they could show that the shadows on the window were not of “love” but of her ractising for her part in a play.
(Whole Lotta) Rosie, claiming that her vital statistics were misrepresented by AC/DC, and she is quite slim, and virginal.
A country boy named Shorty has issued a denial that he cheated by cutting across in a race against a city boy named Dan to win the hand in marriage of a young woman named in legal papers as “Miss Lucy”.
Yeah, I just noticed that…well I got an update on the story anyway, apparently Sexy Sadie, angry at how everyone was paying attention to Pam, broke all the rules by getting Maxwell to kill Pam with a silver hammer. She made a fool of him! Now Pam’s remaining family, Mean Mister Mustard, is getting his attorneys, Dr Robert and the Taxman, to sue Maxwell. He’s such a mean old man. Meanwhile, Father McKenzie is burying Pam next to Eleanor Rigby.
…and in other news, I saw Joe today and asked, “Hey Joe where you going with that gun in your hand?” And he said to me, “I’m going to shoot my lady, I caught her messin’ with another man.”
That ain’t too cool.
So I guess he shot her down to the ground. Then he ran way down south to Mexico, where he can be free.
Ain’t no hangman gonna put a rope around him!!
I think not: I heard that the Beatles could do no wrong, and were constantly chaste. And I believe that it would only have been a crime in the UK if “She was just fifteen. You know what I mean?”
Paul in fact waited until she was old enough that the words scanned properly in the song. A bi-product was that this also saved him from a seriously annoyed legal system.
There are however rumours about a certain Michelle.
