You’ve heard of the Skinniest Man in Rock 'n' Roll, Well—how about the Skinniest Couple? At a recent show Peter Frampton (who's been known to share clothes with his ladyfriend/lookalike Penny) had a falling out with his trousers—he split them, in plain English. But quick as a flash, he and Penny ducked behind an amplifier, switched pants, and voila! Peter resumed the show without a blush. Penny scooted back into the dressing room wearing the tom pants, and had them repaired in no time. Ain’t love grand?

Latest contender for the title of Skinniest Man in Rock ‘n’ Roll is Derringer bassist Kenny Aaronson. But look out Kenny— George Harrison is dropping kilos rapidly (thanks to his vegetarian regime) and he was pretty ethereal to begin with. But he wasn’t laid up in ahospital with a mystery disease as widely reported. Hari was spotted at a Waiters concert in Hamburg, Germany looking very much of this earth. His latest album, already in the can, features Tool Scott, Willie Weeks, Billy Preston and every other session man you can think of. So who’d you expect, Lon Reed? Playing his amplifier?
