The drummer from Prince's band The Revolution, Wendy Melvoin, had a brother named Johnathan who was a member of a well-known 90's band. What is the name of that 90's band?

Smashing Pumpkins?

I just can't tackle you musical geniuses, can I?

Yes, cosmos. It was Smashing Pumpkins. And Johnathan died of a heroin overdose in 1996.

I remember when he passed away, Spooky. Very sad! His sister was PISSED about it!!!

The poor man died after doing some heroin with the street name of Red Rum. This fact sticked in my mind because a great race horse had the same name.

Ok, this may be too easy, but here it goes....

On their 1981 U.S. tour, the Rolling Stones' opening act was booed off the stage nightly. One show early on in the tour, someone in the audience threw a Jack Daniels bottle at the then-unknown act. After that show, the act quit the tour and booked the first flight home. It took a personal phone call from Mick Jagger to get the act to finish the tour. Who is it?

Nice job, Dr. J!!!

Woo! Yay! Go me!

I was in Liverpool recently and this was the most difficult question on a Beatles sight-seeing trip: John and Paul played some dates as a duo over Easter 1960 - What name did they use for these appearances?

No googling!

Haven't a clue, I only know the full band Quarrymen name. Er, John 'n' Paul?

Well I never knew the Boy George one, how bizarre. I choke on my large slice of humble pie, washed down with Perroni beer, and offer profuse and heartfelt apologies to the triviameistress that is Gillibeanz,

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Thu May 13, 2004 5:02 pm

Neither do I. There was a time when I was such a Beatle buff that I could name lineups of Elephants Memory. I'm in awe of you, Dr J.

Weren't they called the Silver Beatles/Beetles at some point, is that it? That was probably later but it's the only guess I have.

I just gave up and Googled to satisfy my curiosity... and I have to say that there is absolutely no way that anyone will get the anser to your question Dr J (well, at least without googling)

DrJ · Post by **DrJ** » Fri May 14, 2004 3:34 am

Is it that hard? If yer into Beatle trivia, it'll stick in your brain. I'll give it 24 hours.

I did the same and agree, it truly is an obscure fact. This thread is proving to be very informative, if not educational.

DrJ! So you didn't see me waving at you as you journeyed around Gambia Terrace?

Ok, that's a lie. But I would've done had I been at home.

Toughie question. Pass.

DrJ · Post by **DrJ** » Fri May 14, 2004 7:51 am

Does that big goofy Magical Mystery Tour bus go by your place? I have to admit, I laughed like a drain when I saw it myself... This week I edited my Liverpool footage into a movie that I might eventually post somewhere.

T'was a good day out. I think we're going off the point.

Hehheh, yeah, it does.

I was going to say, "DrJ! So you didn't see me waving at you as you journeyed around Gambia Terrace in that fucking awful monstrosity of a bus?", but didn't in case I offended you.

Anyway, back to the QUESTION! I wanna know the ANSWER!

Ha, yes, the novelty value would wear off. But it was good to let my anorack fly for an afternoon.
