Also, look at this! There is a band called Sherita who has more info on their website:

Sherita, named for a pink, fossil fuel dinosaur whose portrait has adorned a Brooklyn billboard since the 1970s, gathers inspiration from the sounds of bygone eras to create music that is alive in the present moment. Through exploration of the acoustic traditions of the Balkans and the Near East, Sherita makes music that is at once both ancient and modern; by turns haunting, exuberant, enchanting. This quartet opens a musical time capsule, sent for posterity. The old songs and dances they find inside come to life again, and give rise to new ones. The world of an aging billboard is reborn in the present-day city.

I wonder if they have more info?? One thing I didn’t put together was oil=fossil fuels=dinosaurs. Totally logical to have a dinosaur on a heating oil sign!
