A musical museum

I was thinking it might be fun to compile a list of people mentioned in songs and build a museum of their things:

For starters we could include:

Polythene Pam's jackboots and kilt (The Beatles, Polythene Pam)

Mr. Bojangles' worn out shoes (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Mr. Bojangles)

Cathy's cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies (Simon and Garfunkel, America)

Sally's Mustang (Wilson Pickett, Mustang Sally)

What do you think should be included?

@edgarblythe,

In the museum's stylish cafeteria
- a glass of champagne from Sailor,
- whisky for the lady from Wishbone Ash,
- (there's no milk today from Herman's Hermits),
- old red wine from The Who,
- and one more cup of coffee from Bob Dylan
or
- a tea for one from Led Zeppelin.

In a hidden room at the back
- cocaine from Eric Clapton,
- cold turkey from John Lennon,
- Methadrine from the Small Faces (Here comes the Nice),
