Musician inside jokes?

What are your favorite musician inside jokes in this movie? I love the bit where the New Main St Singers leader is hazing the new guy and takes him off singing the root, telling him to sing the sixth instead. I HATE singing the sixth, it's one of the weakest harmonies in vocal music. That plus the stupid blue sweater vest he has to wear makes the scene hilarious.

Just saw for first time and all of it made me smile, thinking of the folk acts I hazily remembered seeing, as a 3rd grader, on Hootenanny- but I had to laugh out loud at 1:24:50. What I saw was Peter, Paul and Mary.

Except Harry Shearer is prettier than Mary Travers.
