Facebook Quizzes

    Why I don't do well on any of those Facebook quizzes such as "what kind of dog are you?"

Dog Quiz

    I know all of these except for Dog #11.  And I don't think Dog #2 had a name, but I know which cartoon he was in.

Music Quiz

    Well, the two outside Jimmy's are easy, and I'm pretty sure of the mustached one.  But the one in the hat has me stumped.

Saturday Night Music Quiz

    Okay, this Family Circus cartoon has been obviously altered.  Even if Bil Keane were still alive, I am certain he wouldn't be listening to Alternative Rock.  Someone has photoshopped three album covers into the image, and I for one think it is a superb effort.

    Alas, I only recognize one of the three album covers here.  I'll list it in the comments.  But I'm clueless about the other two.  Then again, while I like Alt-Rock, it's not a genre I'm obsessed with.

Drunk Quiz

    I'm sure I answered that one correctly.

Nerd Quiz

    I got 9/16, so I'm quite the nerd.  Missed the whole bottom row, though.

Music Trivia Quiz

    Kewl album cover art from an LP I just digitalized.  It is a Frank Frazetta masterpiece, of course.  But what album/group?  Answer in the comments, but if you're a rock-&-roll geezer, you really should already know this.

Music Trivia Quiz

Name the rock star!!

    He was a top-tier drummer for a top-tier rock band a long time ago.  He will be appearing here in the greater Phoenix area later this year, albeit playing a different genre.  Who is he?

    Useless hint : He cleaned up nicely since back-in-the-day.  Answer listed in the comments.

Creative Writing Exercise

    My offering is "salubrious".  As nasty-sounding of a word as I've ever heard.

Happy Woodstock Day !!

    Well okay, there's no such thing as Woodstock Day.  But 43 years ago, today was the first day of the 3-day extravaganza.  I wasn't there; we had moved to Lake Havasu City that summer, and I was sweating my butt off working as a carry-out boy at one of the local supermarkets there, while also doing the paperwork for transferring from Penn State to Arizona State.

    The line-up for Woodstock will never be equaled.  Bands are sponsored now, and sponsors don't like to share stage-time with other bands/sponsors.  The Coachella festival draws some nice bands, but still not like Woodstock did.

    Pictured above is one of the bands that played there, and one of my personal favorites.  So we'll make it a quiz - who are they?  Answer in the comments when you give up. 

Album Cover Quiz

    A music quiz for tonight.  Above is a (cropped) LP Album cover that I stumbled across tonight.  The question is - who are those two?  The guy is fairly easy.  For me, the girl was not.
