Marc Bolan wrote about people on the scene back in the 70's (without naming names)--like he did in "Telegram Sam" where he talks about Dylan, and some of his friends naming them "Telegram Sam" and "Purple Pie Pete" and "Jungle Face Jake". He left it up to you to figure out who they were. I'm guessing "Baby Boomerang" was somebody famous on the New York scene at the time. I think it could have been Lou Reed and the uncle could have been Andy Warhol. Who knows; but I think "Baby Boomerang" was an alias for one of those New York underground peoplein the 70's.
