Episode Transcript/Quiz

Who’s ready to rock? Well, I did famous drummers earlier this year, so it only seemed fitting to add guitarists to the list of topics.

Like all our mini episodes, this one is just ten quick questions. Ready? Set. Go.

  2. Who was the highest paid musician at Woodstock, where he performed an icon version of The Star-Spangled Banner?
    a. Jimi Hendrix
  3. Robin Williams often joked that after the apocalypse, there would only be bugs and what Rolling Stones guitarist left?
    a. Keith Richards
  4. What Mexican guitarist (along with his band), gained a whole new generation of followers when he teamed up with Rob Thomas for “Smooth”?
    a. Carlos Santana
  5. What singer, songwriter, and guitarist played with bands like the Traveling Wilburys, Mudcrutch, and (most famously) The Heartbreakers
    a. Tom Petty
  6. What singer and guitarist had hits in the 1990s with “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window”?
    a. Melissa Etheridge
  7. What guitarist for Rush was the only founding member to stay with the band until its dissolution in 2018?
    a. Alex Lifeson
  8. What guitarist is a founding member of Queen, a knight, and a PhD?
    a. Brian May
  9. What guitarist, not playing with the band that bore his name, recorded the guitar solo for Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”?
    a. Eddie Van Halen
  10. Born as Saul Hudson, the lead guitarist for Guns N’ Roses, usually goes by what name?
    a. Slash

And that’s it for famous guitarists. Did I miss your favorite? Let me know on social media. Maybe I’ll revisit this topic with a second mini episode.

    X-Men in Focus – Mind Mutants
    byBrian Rollins

    Can you read my mind? If you can, why are you listening to this? Go to Las Vegas, hit the poker tables. 

    If, like me, you’re a non-mutant with no powers (except recalling useless facts), then join me as we do a deep dive into three X-Men characters, all with psychic abilities. This week, it’s Charles Xavier, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost.
