“Lucy Offerall
had got the hots for me. One night we’d all been down
in the bar of the hotel and, as usual, with Keith Moon around, everyone was
pissed out of their brains and I sort of lumbered up to my bedroom and passed
out. Lucy said, “Oh Keith, I want to get into Martin’s bedroom”. So he went,
“Don’t worry, my dear, I’ll get you in.” Apparently it was pissing down with
rain outside, he climbs out onto the window ledge, creeps along, smashes my
window, gets in, opens the door. I woke up absolutely covered in glass...and
Lucy!” – Martin Lickert,
5 November 1993
The complete interview with Martin can be found in Andrew's book Frank Talk: The Inside Stories Of Zappa's
Other People (Wymer UK, 2017).
