John Lennon's "The Dirty Mac"
I know Mac is slang for raincoat in England, but I always thought Lennon's makeshift band name had a double meaning, as in a tip of the hat to Fleetwood Mac.
For those that don't know John Lennon put together an all-star band composed of Eric Clapton on guitar, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Keith Richards on bass. They played at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus which was filmed 12/68. The song they performed was "Yer Blues" from the Beatles 'White Album'. After Jeremy's recollections on what Lennon said I thought it was appropriate.
