Neil Diamond is parodied with the unreleased "You Don't Take Your Showers" song. Plus Al's early guitar guy, Richard "Bopcat" Bennett, was also Neil Diamond's lead guitarist in the 1970s and 1980s.

Who does?

Eddie Van Halen played a mean guitar solo on "Beat It." You figure out the obvious connection from there.

Mary Tyler Moore was mentioned in the Weezer song "Buddy Holly" which was cut from "The Alternative Polka" at the very last minute.

Captain Beefheart was.... um.... a pirate. ARRRRRR!!! (Actually I have no idea who that is. :lookround:)
