Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said, 'Don't look back. You can never look back."

Answer: Don Henley

"The Boys of Summer", from the album "Building the Perfect Beast", originally released in 1984. This album also includes the tunes, "Sunset Grill" and "All She Wants to Do is Dance". This was the second, and best selling, of Henley's solo albums.

2. "The Sheikh, he drove his Cadillac; he went a-cruisin' down the ville. The Muezzin was a-standin' on the radiator grille."

Answer: The Clash

"Rock the Casbah", from the album "Combat Rock", originally released in 1982. This album also includes the tunes, "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Overpowered by Funk". In my opinion, this is the Clash's second best album, next to "London Calling".

3. "With a purple umbrella and a fifty-cent hat (livin', lovin', she's just a woman), Missus Cool rides out in her aged Cadillac (livin', lovin', she's just a woman).

Answer: Boston

"Rock and Roll Band", from Boston's self-titled debut album, originally released in 1976. This album also includes the tunes, "Something About You" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight". Though it may seem to be, the song, "Rock and Roll Band" is not actually about the band, Boston. Actually, Boston did not tour before the release of their highly successful debut album.

Answer: The Rolling Stones

"Dead Flowers", from the album "Sticky Fingers", originally released in 1971. This album also includes the tunes, "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses", and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'". "Sticky Fingers" is THE greatest album of all time - bar none.

7. "Cadillac, Cadillac, long and dark, shiny and black. Open up your engines, let 'em roar, tearing up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur."
