In my travels I discovered this, the inspiration for John's song. I have never seen it before.

Hmmm. Wrong again. I always thought Anita Ficks wrote that article.

We're more popular than gunpowder!
I don't know which came first...the punter
or, the gatherer. Besides, I thought that song was a leftover from Two Virgins...
...Ha'Penis Is A Warm Gun.
"So, sod the blighter! This pistol is bent slightly to the left"
Gee, officer! I was just cleaning it and it went off!
And, the centerfold had a duck in her mouth!
Bang! Bang! You're Terry Reid!

On a similar topic. I read the Gordon Lightfoot song Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was based on a magazine article as well.
Found that article and the lyrics jump off the page. Much like John's circus poster for 'Mr Kite.
Thanks for sharing,
