The episode was about Homer, who was a teen in the '70's who enjoyed
"rockin' out" to such bands as Queen and Grand Funk, trying to resolve
himself with the '90's rock scene.

I think that this was just one more, appropriate allusion to the music
of the period and is no real indicator that Groening is worthy of
being called a fan.  Let him show the sign on a character's wall
(Otto would be perfect or Homer in a flashback scene) or have some
other song playing in the background in a flashback.  Until then, I
wouldn't brand Mr. Groening a fan.

"If you find yourself and a friend being chased by a King Cheetah, you
 have but one chance:  Trip your friend."
