Obvious e.g. is Elvis, "saw the ghost of Elvis" in Mark Cohn's Walking In Memphis, or alternatively the Wonder Stuff's Never Loved Elvis. But what about Johnny Marr?

"he reminded you of Johnny, before he went Electronic" in Belle & Sebastian's Seymour Stein,

"You saved for a bass guitar, you knew you'd made a mistake when you first saw Marr" from Camera Obscura's Pen & Notebook and

(stupid e.g. alert) "Johnny Marr he plays guitar" from Tribe of Toffs' John Kettley is a Weatherman!

"You can't go far without a guitar/unless you're Ringo Starr".
