Here's an obscure one--what is the real name of Terry Cashman (of Cashman, Pistilli and West and "Mickey, Willie and the Babe" fame)? |
Rcprince, correct on Cindi Lauper for Peewees Playhouse music. And Estrnad, very observant! Yes to Clockwork Orange on Heaven 17, a wonderful film by my favorite director, in "2001" and every other year. |
Oh, forgot to say. I gave a +2 for both of you for your expert answers. This was promised in the rules set by David 99. |
Hey Albert. SRV was far more important than Bowie in making Let's Dance a good album. I used to be a concert security drone and of the performers I've seen Bowie definitely won the God Complex Crown.
Here are some trivia questions on the Bowie/SRV:
1. What led to Stevie quitting the Thin White Dork's tour ?
2. What guitarist's licks did Stevie copy for 'Let's Dance' ?
3. Related to 2, what crummy Bowieesque MTV action ticked off Stevie ?
SRV General:
4. What Rocky movie features stevie (music only) and another music legend known for his taste in guitarists ?
5. Who gave Stevie (3 days!) free studio time to record 'Texas Flood' |
With regard to SRV, here are my guesses:
1. Bowie wanted SRV to drop playing with Double Trouble and play with him exclusively.
2. Sounds like Albert King to me.
3. I have no idea
4. Rocky IV
5. Jackson Browne picked up the tab on SRV's studio time. |
Hey Undertaker ! Great going! You got all four correct!
1) SRV and Double Trouble had actually set up an interview promo/play date to support their new album 'Texas Flood'. It was to be on a day that Bowie's tour was not playing. Bowie heard about it and forbade it. Bowie's band used to call him 'Her Royal Majesty'.
3) SRV was rightfully peeved when he saw the "Let's Dance" video which showed footage of Bowie 'playing' his solo. |
I thought that might be the answer, but was afraid to hazard a guess. I seem to recall that John Anderson did that on his version of "When it Comes to You", the Dire Straits tune that Mark Knopfler played on for him on that album. |
Sorry to get in late on this, however, if my memory serves me correctly John states on the "White" album's, "Glass Onion", that the Walrus was me! Thus meaning that "John" is the Walrus! |
So David99, if no one has pointed this out do I get my points? |
Ramsti-There is your +2/+2
Question: what were you doing when you first heard John Lennon had been murdered? I was lying in a hotel bed watching the 11 pm news with an old flame....and you?? |
I was in a 1966 blue Ford Mustang with 2 friends driving to our favorite bar for nickel drafts. "It was during my college days." I can remember the specific street and the street light we were waiting at when it came over the radio. It was a ice cold day and we were shocked. We were all big fans. Needless to say, we took full advantage of the drink specials when we arrived at the watering hole. |
Undertaker, in answer to a question of yours from way back, as I listened to it the other night, I don't think the Beatles played any instruments on "Eleanor Rigby". |
re: john lennon's death. i was watching monday night football. howard cosell broke the news. my older son, who turns 32 this week, reminded me quite recently that i was so stunned that i awakened him, then a gradeschooler, to tell him, already a beatles fan, the sad, sad news. -kelly |
Sorry about getting back so late. I forgot to reply. Dekay, you've got the right idea. Dave Clark added Sellotape around the capstan and kept adding to it until he got the speed he wanted. Rcprince you're a little short. Would you believe they scored no less than 14 consecutive Top Ten hits, more than anybody except the Beatles of that period....15 consecutive top 20 singles....again sorry about the late reply. cheers, Bluenose |
