groupiesoutrageously: “During a conversation backstage, Eric Clapton asked if I had ever heard of the Plaster-Casters. I said I hadn’t. He said “Well, afier the show, come with me. You won’t believe this." So, we went to his hotel. Upon arrival we found, sitting in the lobby, two girls. One of them had a small suitcase with an oval cardboard emblem glued to the side that said ”THE PLASTER CASTERS OF CHICAGO.“ The other one had a brown paper bag. They didn’t say a word – just stood up and followed us into the elevator, and into the room. The suitcase girl opened the suitcase. The other one opened the bag. They took out some ‘statuettes’:"Here’s Jimi Hendrix, and here’s Noel Redding, and here’s the roadie from…” They put them on the coffee table and took out the rest of their gear – everything a person might need to make a plaster replica of the human weenus. We spent two or three hours talking with them. Neither of us volunteered to be ‘immortalized.’ “ - Frank Zappa, The Real Frank Zappa Book -- source link
