Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure Eleanor Rigby and Edmund Fitzgerald were real people, not fictional. Also, the Edmund Fitzgerald was the name of a ship as well. Maybe that's what is not like the other.

Not your best thread, Rex.

ETA: But have an upvote, because you're going to get 84 downvotes just because you are Rex.

Another JF&HPBB song: Silly Sarah Carter (eating on a moonpie), which was pretty much a rip-off of his own "Judy in Disguise" for a different record label.

A couple of others I hate to admit knowing:

Jennifer Eccles - The Hollies

Alice Long - Boyce & Hart

There was an Ole Miss basketball player named Edmund Fitzerald, FWIW. I imagine he hated that song.
