Quote:Quote:Beatles for 60, Alec...On "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" (white album), this person did the lead vocal part on the line, "not when he looked so fierce"... Who is Yoko Ono?Ya can't get any Beatles trivia past me, Alex! Ern That is correct!!Also Maureen Starkey and Patti Harrison did some BG vocals on the white album. I know sooooo much worthless junk... But I have no idea where I put my damn car keys!! Casey

Quote:So can those of us raised on very late 60s and 70s pop ask some questions from music created after we were born??? Sure! Here's one for you, Anne (I learned this piece of trivia from a friend who got this from her in person):This rock band is one of Tori Amos' biggest influences.You'll never guess, but give it a shot!Ern

Ah, mighty Zep of course! But, I'm a Tori Amos fan (how I wish I could write in a style like that!)How about one of these, about one of my favorite bands as a child growing up in the 70s...What American band reached number six on the billboard charts after spending a flat $100,000 on a times square billboard in 1970?

Quote:Ah, mighty Zep of course! But, I'm a Tori Amos fan (how I wish I could write in a style like that!)That is correct! But, it must be in the form of a question. Alex, shall we give it to her? The fact she loves Zep is really curious. 'I' love them, but do you really hear much of their influence in Tori's music? --- Now if we're talking about Heart, that's a different story!I'll have to think about your trivia question --- nuttin' comes to mind --- hmm ---Ern

Quote:What American band reached number six on the billboard charts after spending a flat $100,000 on a times square billboard in 1970?Who is Grand Funk Railroad? (I cheated and looked it up.) Speaking of bands from the great (!) city of Flint, Michigan, here's another one:This punk/rock band from Flint, MI used a Vox Continental (or Farfisa Combo Compact) organ on their greatest hit record.Alex?Ern

Guess the "American Band" hint I dropped in there didn't work!Um, Alex, can I have an era on the puck band (hey - it could be retro punk, you know?)

OK,

Try this on for size.

This legendary songwriter had two sad things in common with Hank Williams. He led a troubled life and died on the same day as Hank, exactly 44 years later.

Would that be Lefty Frizzell?
