Bearing in mind that I don't make the rules or provide official interpretations, but this strikes me as being similar to "Jim and Jack and Hank" song entry that was disallowed. Jim and Jack weren't allowed because they referred to whiskey brands and not directly to people, even though the brands were named for real people -- "James B. Beam" and "Jack Daniel" respectively.

But, as I said, I'm not in a position of authority. If it turns out to be legal I have a few additional songs I can play!
