Note about Roy's Irone Pope' stage attire (as seen in the UM movie)
From: Bew Watson NDPP, p.525 "In 1968 Roy Estrada dressed up as the Pope and distributed Smarties in mockery of papal decrees against the [birth-control] pills."
Pope banned their usage for Catholics just a few weeks prior to the Royal Festival Hall concert

According to some Bunk Gardner' interview [Necessity Is..] this were the very same words that Roy used to say about himself in a real life. And very often.
