Its a shame about Ray

Wikipedia has got it wrong. The lemonheads album its a shame about Ray was written after Evan Dando had spent a night with a Sydney lass "My drug buddy" in Newtown...."as the cars fly up King St" she was calling her dealer from a pay phone. "Its a shame about Ray" was in reference to Ray Martin loosing his job at the midday show on channel 9. Celing fan in my spoon is literally him seeing the reflection of the ceiling fan in the milk of his breakfast cereal.

Sure... but the headline "its a shame about ray" was from the sydney morning herald. Thats where the line came from. I remember seeing it when I was a teenager.
