3. "The world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much." What musician said this dessert-related quote about living life?

Answer: George Harrison

A recurring theme in George Harrison's music is the point of life, and how good it can be. He believed that it should be lived to the fullest, but not to be taken advantage of too much. This ties into this "birthday cake" quote.

4. "We meet a lot of people, we drink lots of stuff and have lots of fun." Which rock and roll drinker said this?

Answer: Bon Scott

Bon Scott of AC/DC was known for his drinking. His cause of death even revolved around alcohol; he died of inhalation of vomit due to excess alcohol consumption.

7. "Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success." That's beautiful ... but who said it?

Answer: Tom Petty

You can tell by this quote that to Tom, success doesn't necessarily mean being famous. Luckily for Tom, that "something" he really likes that "pays the rent" is being in a famous band - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

8. "I hated school. After 15, you went off to college if you were good enough. It didn't appeal to me so I left school. I did what everybody did - get a job." What heavy metal artist explained his...complications...as a teen?

10. "I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend." Well put! These words were uttered by what music legend?

Answer: Freddie Mercury
