then there are books that claim halfway through the Vega gig, the name was changed
and of course we can't leave out Tonita Turner's story of flo casually sitting in her dressing room filing her nails when the radio comes on and the dj announces the new single by DRATS as Reflections and starts to play it, causing her to flip her wig lol
In Randy's last book the whole "confrontation" between F and B about "i'll be Diane just loves that marquee..." is omitted. and this time the ignition point for her going on stage drunk was the fact that a tuxedo costume had been made [[and labeled) especially for Cindy
