AbbyFitz, There was definitely some kind of grapefruit connection in the rock music world of the 1960s, what with the fruit cropping up in a band and in Yoko Ono's book!
Me, too, I wish that you liked grapefruits more. They're at the top of my list of favorite fruits!
There's so much about grapefruit I didn't know. I wish I liked it more.
It's funny that someone actually thought of naming their band grapefruit.
