i would like any of those cats to be my godfather

Weird. That's news to me. A little research reveals that Keidis's father was an actor, so perhaps he crossed paths with Sonny during his pre-political cheeseball acting days.

I still cannot confirm or disprove the rumour that Eazy E (Eric Wright) was the son of funk legend Charles Wright of Watts 110th St Rhythm Band fame. Apart from the fact that NWA covered Wright's "Express Yourself" I can't find any solid connection, but that's what some say...

Lene Lovich sang on Check Berry's "My Ding-A-Ling"!

From wikipedia:
"She was...one of thousands of people in the audience at the 1972 Lanchester Arts Festival when Chuck Berry recorded the risqué "My Ding-a-Ling" for Chess Records. As the audience was encouraged to sing-a-long technically this could be described as her first appearance on record. "

I believe the members of Shonen Knife were in the audience for Cheap Trick's LIVE AT BUDOKAN.

Jim Carroll claimed to be the voice harassing the waitress on the Velvet Underground LIVE AT MAX'S KANSAS CITY.

I got one:

Which Dictator was Lester Bangs' sister married to?

Idi Amin?

Lester's half sister? He had 2 half brothers and a half sister, his dad was burned to death in 1957.
I went to a beverage convention and Adny Shernoff was a speaker on Varietal Wines and is considered an expert on the subject.
