Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Welcome back to Rael's never-ending nightmare as featured in Genesis's "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". For those of you tuning in late, Part 1 of the quiz ended with our brave young hero Rael being led by a "droopy" saleswoman to "the factory floor". What song is this from?
2. What is the factory saleswoman selling?
3. Among the "parade", Rael sees his brother John. Well, well, I guess he found his way here by himself. What number is stamped onto John's forehead?
4. John is hardly the only familiar face here. He also sees members of his old gang, the sight of which has Rael running out of the factory. He finds himself thinking back to his life in New York City. A gang member, an erstwhile reform school attendee, he felt lost and recalls himself walking home one day after a raid, cuddling a sleeping porcupine in his arms. How does he describe his heart at this time?
5. Rael, still lost in reflection, recalls his first romantic encounter. He had prepared himself, having gone so far as to purchase a book on the grand subject of l'amour. He studied all the facts, figures, everything the experts say, and now he was ready for the real thing. To which famous lover does Rael compare himself to in "Counting Out Time"?
6. Okay, enough of these flashbacks already! Rael returns to the passage he was in and notices a long carpeted corridor in which the "dolls" from the factory kneel and struggle towards a wooden door. Rael walks among them as though in a dream. What's does he find on the other side of the wooden door in the haunting song "The Carpet Crawlers"?
7. Rael has reached the next step of his journey: it's a room with 32 doors, but only one that leads out. He's inundated by hundreds of people, all trying to get him to try a different door. Rael needs someone he can trust, and lists many types of people he feels he could believe in. Whom does he eventually end up trusting?
8. Rael and his companion walk through a door and into a tunnel, the light of the room behind them fading as they go. Rael and his strange travelling partner wind up in a round cave, and the latter sits Rael down in a throne made out of what?
9. Rael is left alone in the cave sitting on a throne, and we can imagine, probably not feeling too great about it. Suddenly, a tunnel to the left of him is lit up by something approaching! Uh-oh. The light grows brighter and brighter until he's nearly blinded by it. What is the source of the magnificent light?
10. Rael is not particularly happy with the blinding white light coming toward him, and he hurls a rock at the center of its source. The sound of breaking glass fills the circular cave. He watches the two globes float away, and the lights go out. Oh, no... now he's done it. A crack appears in the roof the cave, and rocks collapse all around him. In which instrumental song do we hear the events described here, most obviously the breaking glass?
