36. And I don't pride myself on my rock knowledge at all. Must've been a fluke. (Then again, I don't know if it's good or not.)

45.  In related news, "impossible" now means "highly possible."

A friend wrote "Pink Floyd: Pig Balls" in my HS yearbook - thank goodness, else I would have had a 34.

I got a 42, but I was guessing on quite a few of them. Most of the crap on it I've never had any interest in.

I would go up there but I don't want to give Rolling Stone Magazine the hit.  Also, I don't know anything about Bette Midler, Randy Newman, R.E.M., Counting Crows or The Travelling Wilburys.

39. It would be almost impossible if it wasn't multiple choice. Then I would have been around 9 or 10.

 Seriously.

I guessed the shit out of most of that thing.

33 with a whole lot of guessing.

Although I knew the Alice Cooper Wayne's World question  :)

I didn't do it.

Neither did I, but only because I knew I'd do so badly.  An unworthy reason.

I don't even remember half of the questions now, but I don't think they asked anything about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Which is strange.
Title: Re: Almost Impossible Rock & Roll Quiz
Post by: buffcoat on December 03, 2007, 11:22:22 PM
Tim - one question about the Red Hot Chili Peppers on there - I think it had to do with the Simpsons.

Thank you for playing "One of These Things Does Not Belong." You selected R.E.M. R.E.M. does not suck and does not belong with those other musicians.

On a related note, I once saw that Counting Crows dude with the stupid pineapple hair at the Michael Cerveris production of Sweeney Todd. Fortunately, he did not sit in front of me. Also, he was not very smart and stood in the mile long drink line during intermission. I went to the mezzanine bar, where there were three people waiting in line, had a Manhattan, went back downstairs and saw Crazy Hair Dude still had 10 people in front of him. S-M-R-T, SMART.

I'm going to assume you're posting that picture of that dude with the scary giant back tattoo of guy who might be Counting Crows dude or Chris Kirkpatrick of N*Sync. My work computer blocks all things originating from blogspot.

This could be a new game:  post images from sites Laurie's work computer blocks and see if she can guess what they are from context.  It would be like that Whose Line Is It Anyway? schtick or its successor--Green Screen, was it?

And I hated every moment of it.

I like Sarah's Laurie game idea better.

Don't know if it'll be blocked or not, but I did a search for "pron" and "blogspot" and came up with this:

You misspelled pr0n!

My guess: It's a picture of Janine on the set of the porno version of Pirates of the Caribbean. And there's a funny lol-meme caption.

Ooops, sorry, laurie.  I took them off the list

3 drum sticks lost and a wiggling middle finger to the crowd in the first 15 seconds.

TL, I believe the gauntlet hath been flung down. I do believe you have something to strive for in upcoming shows, or perhaps, in certain Jersey City radio pledge drive performances, if we be so lucky.

For the MC5?
There is no third choice.
