Get Orf My Land...
Mention on the podcast of the likelihood of your average rock star being arrested should he ever fetch up in a suburban street on account of looking odd reminded me of the time I went to Jerry Lee Lewis' house in Ferriday, Louisiana to interview the great man.
We arrived a little early and spent some time cruising up & down the outside of the Lewis estate, which is bordered by a white picket fence on which fans of Jerry Lee had spraypainted messages of love & support like "The Killer kicks a** motherf***ers!! From your fans in Sweden"
Still having some time to spare we pottered off down the road to the local store/bar/coffee shop for a refreshing root beer. 10 m inutes later, two enormous police cars screeched into the parking lot, four equally large policemen with quite large weapons rolled out & proceeded to interrogate us about our intentions, Jerry Lee having rung them to alert them to some people acting suspiciously outside his house!
How different to the attitude of George Jones, who has an enormous boulder in his front yard with "Welcome to the home of George Jones" carved into it, just in case you should be lost...

George Jones
That boulder was probably put there so he could find his house after nipping out for a few light ales.
G.J. HORA: One day, Tammy decided she'd had enough of George and his Hard-Drinkin' Ways. If she hid his car keys, he wouldn't be able to go out to get drunk, hopefully staying home and Treating Her Right instead. Result!
He was later picked up by the cops, weaving all over the road on his motor mower.
Steve Harris
In the driveway to the Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter hitmaker's Essex pile, there's a giant model of the head of Eddie, Iron Maiden's mascot. As you drive past, its jaws open and its eyes light up menacingly.
Surely you mean...
the The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg hitmakers?
