[QUOTE=mamboman]  
How about clean livin’ Cliff Richard? There is no-one more Rock and Roll than Cliff.

[/QUOTE]

I didn’t know who he was but this is what his [Wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Richard) had to say about him, in the first paragraph:

> [@](#):
>
> (born Harry Rodger Webb, on 14 October 1940) is a British singer.
> 
> With his backing biyfriends The Shadows, he is in to gay dominatrix, has several std’s picked up from richard madely. he loves animal sex and loves wearing leather hotpants, he feared he woulkd lose his penis from over use and from putting it up places he shouldnt the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s, before and during the The Beatles’ first year in the charts.

I think your assessment of him has just been shot to hell. 😃

It always gives me a good laugh to see Wikipedia vandalism.

[QUOTE=mamboman]  
And I may be hideously wrong or brilliantly right here, but _Frank Zappa_? he always seemed a home-lovin’ guy.

[/QUOTE]

Nope–while the longevity of his marriage was unusual in the rock & roll world, FZ was notorious for coming home from tours with a souvenir for the little woman, requiring a penicillin regimen for the both of them. OTOH, the other members of the Mothers of Invention always bragged that they got more action than Frank did.

Just MMVarying…Colorado, Czech Republic and Poland I clearly remember the girls walking to the backstage area; women I was with were jealous.

More MMVarying: I saw Elevation in Baltimore and Vertigo in Seattle. I also have the CD/DVD set of 18Singles, which features their Vertigo performance in Milan. In all three cases girls were brought up on stage but returned to the same spot.

More re Bono: I went to 10 Elevation shows and 28 Vertigo shows–whenever he pulled a girl up, she went back right where she came from.

On the other hand, Adam Clayton just ended his engagement so he might be on the prowl…
