Hmmm, I have had time to think about a couple of these Questions...

6) Carrie Snodgress

12) Hank Ballard (my boss said this was the original artist)

[gus danger]

That gives you 8 correct answers Mr Ella! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]

The Twist had been a B-side that went relatively un-noticed until Chubby Checker recorded it.
Yep...Hank Ballard and the Midnighters did The Twist 2 years before Chubby Checker and the rest is HIStory!

Keep those answers coming folks!

I'll have to watch it again, but wasn't Ringo Starr playing a midget in '200 Motels', who just happened to look like Zappa? Well, it wasn't the most coherent storyline, so he mighta been playing Zappa, minus a foot height, while Zappa himself was in some of the same shots... (?)

PS - What issue of Hustler Magazine contains the photo-shoot Zappa choreographed/directed?

[gus danger]

Yep Southwest! You got the rest!

01) In what movie did Ringo Starr play Frank Zappa?

***"200 Motels"

200 Motels is the movie in which Ringo Starr plays Frank Zappa (the person). Frank performs all musical numbers as himself. This is one crazy movie! A lot went unexplained! I need to watch it again too Reved.

02) Barry McGuire had a #1 Hit with "Eve of Destruction" in 1965. Who wrote that song, as well as "Secret Agent Man" for Johnny Rivers?

***PF Sloan

Along with his songwriting partner, Steve Barri.

***Bob Dylan

What a great song!

04) Rita and her sister Priscilla were married to what performers?
One a singer/songwriter/actor, the other an R&B Organist.

That's Rita Coolidge and Priscilla.

05) Quincy Jones married what actress?

***Peggy Lipton

Loved Peggy in MOD SQUAD and Twin Peaks.

06) Neil Young married what actress?

***Carrie Snodgress

I only learned this recently and was surprised. Sadly, Carrie passed away in 2004.

07) Peter Wolf married what actress?

***Faye Dunaway

Another marital shocker.

08 Maurice Gibb (BEEGEES) married what singer?

***Lulu

To sir with love, while it lasted.

09) A music superstar almost died in a motorcycle accident in 1966. Who?

***Robert Zimmerman

and they said Mr. Dylan would never sing again but he came back stronger than ever!

10) The Fillmore East & Fillmore West were music venues run by?

***Wolfgang (aka Bill Graham)

NOT the evangelist Billy Graham.

11) He's "the kind of guy who likes to roam around" Who is he? His group? And the song?

***Dion DiMucci, the Belmonts, "The Wanderer"

Luckily, 1959 Dion passed up a ride in the charter plane that crashed, killing Buddy Holly.

12) Who started the "Twist"?

***Hank Ballard

It was a throw-away novelty dance tune on the B-Side of TEARDROPS ON MY LETTER in 1958. Chubby Checker's slicker version came out in 1960
