SteveO Wrote:Just curious, how did he get the nickname "Molly" ?
"molly" is a generic term Aussies use for homosexual men....not in a bad way...well maybe, i dont know"...but it sounds better than some of the names they get called...so Ian Meldrum sort of adopted the "molly" thing early in his life and it stuck as a nickname...guess he "came out" back in the sixties before it was fashionable to do so.
he also said once that while he was at "apple corp" Paul actually wrote used his name "molly" as inspiration/dedication to him in "obla di obla da"...so he has benn immortalised in a Beatle track!...
puts a different spin on the song when you know that??!!!
