I admit I'm no blues expert, but I'd swear "Blues legend Louisiana Red" (death just announced on BBC Breakfast) is a Gregg Jevin.

I'm reminded of the likes of Blind Lemon Curd, invented by Wingco for Melody Maker's TTT pages.

(That was the name of the Onion blues artist, right - star of legendary "Blues Singer's Woman Permitted To Tell Her Side" story)

Jefferson Airplane were named after a similar gag (Blind Thomas Jefferson Airplane).
