John Lemon! I loved him — especially when he was playing with Paul McIntosh, George Pearison, and Ringo Starfruit.

Thanks, Bryan!

    John Lemon, ahhh yes…the little known, younger brother, to the Fruit-of-the-Loom lead singer, Jimmy Apple.

    $500 is a little steep, though.

    Would you trade for a box of expired potato chips, Sparky? How about 20 firm obos?

    Okay, I’ll throw in a minty green shell.

    Do we have a deal?

    After yesterday’s gerbert meat orgy, a little fruit salad today will be very refreshing. How about some Rolling Cherry Stones?

        I think they were the inspiration for most of these YSaC posts, check out these lyrics, the only thing missing are some bees and a not.a.lion.

        Good sense, innocence, cripplin’ and kind.
        Dead kings, many things I can’t define.
        Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind.
        Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme.

        Who cares what games we choose?
        Little to win, but nothing to lose.

        Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns.
        Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around.
        Look at yourself, look at yourself,
        Yeah, yeah.
        Look at yourself, look at yourself,
        Yeah, yeah,
        Yeah, yeah.

        Tune-a by the cockeyed world in two.
        Throw your pride to one side, It’s the least you can do.
        Beatniks and politics, nothing is new.
        A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view.

        Who cares what games we choose?
        Little to win, but nothing to lose.

        Good sense, innocence, crippled and kind.
        Dead kings and many things I can’t define.
        Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind.
        Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme.

        Who cares what games we choose?
        Little to win, but nothing to lose.

        Incense, peppermints, incense, peppermints.

        Sha-la-la, sha-la-la….

    I’m picturing Lemongrab from “Adventure Time”, and then the band breaks up because he shrieks that the other three are “UNACCEPTABLLLLEEEEEE!”

    O.K. guys, let’s stop kidding around. I’ve wanted a John Lemon guitar ever since I saw them on the Ed Solarium show. I tried calling the phone number listed (xxx-xxx-xxxx) but it doesn’t seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, how to I get that scribbled graffiti (second picture) off? Have a Good Day (Sunshine!) Meg.

      Ya, I was hoping for a John Lemon, guitar but this one appears to be signed by some bloke named John Lennon. Too bad, I woulda payed $500 for an authentic John Lemon guitar.

    Give Sparky a break. It’s a tough name to spell, an obscure celebrity, and it’s not like he had anything in front of him with the correct spelling to refer to.

      Well, in all fairness, if you go by the picture it looks like the guitar was signed by “Jolnlenneis”.

        Clearly it’s an Epicphony.

        I bet John was Carl Linnaeus’ younger brother.

      Question, CindyB, did your spellcheck mis-correct “reefer” to “refer”? This is about John Lemon, after all.

      I don’t get why all his songs are more or less in 3. It’s like he can’t get to 4…

    Bluesman naming scheme: You Are Doing It Wrong.

    If you invoke a fruit, you have to also invoke a disability–and nobody is going to much pay to hear all those minor chords from John Lemon the Thickie.

      That was a lot funnier in the edit window with examples like
      Mad Pomegranate Mordachai
      Insomniac Kumquat Brown
      Nobby Elderberry Jacody

    John Lemon is IF’s Lemonheads cover band. (Or perhaps its lead singer.)

    Aren’t these guys from England?
    I think they’re pronounced The Bee-Oh’s.

    Dave, why do I think you are the instigator in all the box craziness on the weekends? Archie, limelolly, Ducky, I hope you know this is going on your permanent record! Punchity Punch Punch!

    Good Morning, Average White Band!
