hero worship

my last post on stephen hendee naming a work after a john coltrane album, and then a prvious post prior about coltrane naming a song after paul chambers, got me thinking about works of art/songs where one of your favourite artists dedicates the piece to another of your favourite artists.
been racking my brain all day for examples, and i think i've settled on this one, "untitled for v. tatlin 1966", with dan flavin paying homage to vladimir tatlin. 2 gods rolled into one. magic.
then i'm going to follow that up with the modern jazz quintet's "django" after django reinhardt. or what about bad religion's "21st century digital boy", as a mark of respect to king crimson's "21st century shizoid man". or the doves "m62 Song" after another king crimson song, "moonchild..." oh so many choices, better stop now before this list goes on and on and on
