The Gratefull Comatose

Drug-addled, scandal-prone superstar rock band, featuring androgynous lead singer Boy/Girl (1958-1984), who maybe went solo at the end before dying of the usual rock star things. From “Where Your Rock Album Dollar Goes” from MAD magazine #254 (April 1985), artwork by MAD mainstay Al Jaffee.

The band's name is a parody of The Grateful Dead, and Boy/Girl a parody of Boy George. Jaffee consistently spells it 'gratefull" with two L's even though one L is correct.
