I can't hear his name w/o thinking of the reference in Leonard Cohen's "Jazz Police":

Jazz police are paid by J.Paul Getty
Jazzers paid by J.Paul Getty II

(Probably the first time I'd heard of him.)

Wow, I was gonna say the same thing about "Last Child" by Aerosmith:

Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a silk purse
From a J Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in the beer

Sheer poetry. Who needs Cohen?
