   Well, this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but I saw Warren Zevon
live a few years ago; I could swear that during "Werewolves of London" he
changed the line "I'd like to meet his tailor" into something like "He's
looking for Liz Taylor."  Not another musical artist, and only possibly an
implied putdown, but it's all I can think of... except I also remember Jackson
Brown being in the song... something about "walkin' down the boulevard".  It
wasn't derogatory though.
