T. Rex: (A) Papa was a rollin' stone. (B) Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
T. Rex: A CLEAR CONTRADICTION!
T. Rex: By (B), Papa was Paul Young.
Dromiceiomimus: Or Marvin Gaye.
T. Rex: Sure. But the point remains — neither was a member of The Rolling Stones!
Utahraptor: I can resolve the paradox, T. Rex! Paul Young was a solo artist, right?
Utahraptor: So he was on his own — and so, by Dylan's Lemma, LIKE a Rolling Stone. Momma just got confused by the similarity.
T. Rex: Wait! What about The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts? Ah crud this panel does not look good without context.

The author writes:

The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts (Maz Roberts and Kim Lesley) were Paul Young's backing vocalists during the early part of his solo career. As well as appearing on his hits like "Come Back And Stay", they released one single as a duo in their own right. And what was it? "The Last Time", a cover of a song by... The Rolling Stones. It all fits.
