Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Released in 1969, Crosby, Stills & Nash's self titled album included a track with what number in its title?

Answer: 49

"49 Bye Byes" was one of several Stephen Stills compositions on the super group's debut album. The song's content (much like his contributions "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "You Don't Have to Cry") seems to speak of lost love, but fellow band member David Crosby stated in a 2012 interview that he had no idea what the title meant, adding that the song was "just fun to sing".

An excerpt of "49 Bye Byes" was also included in a medley on CSNY's live "Four Way Street" album, which was released in 1971.
2. The British band Humble Pie mournfully described the result of being caught with illegal drugs in what 1972 track?

Answer: 30 Days in the Hole

Although the song didn't make record charts, it remains one of the band's most well known songs and is still played on classic rock and album radio stations. It was included on the album "Smokin'", the band's first after the departure of Peter Frampton, and describes the experience of jail time for possession of small amounts of drugs. Notable covers include those by Gov't Mule and a UK release by Great White.
3. Which singer/songwriter wrote about love, beauty, and the heart break of teenage life when she told us that she "learned the truth at seventeen"?

Answer: Janis Ian

Janis Ian won her first Grammy for "At Seventeen", her 1975 hit that told of the pain of an ugly duckling growing up among the beauty queens and popular girls of high school society. Like many of her other compositions, the lyrics are a social commentary reflecting on life's injustices.

Ms. Ian's musical career began during her teenage years and she is well known for her outspoken writing regarding topics such as interracial dating, politics, and love and death. Her 1995 release "When Angels Cry" became the theme song for a popular couple dealing with the reality of HIV/AIDS on the ABC soap opera "General Hospital".
4. What title on Led Zeppelin's fourth album spotlighted John Bonham's extraordinary talent on drums?

Answer: Four Sticks

Several accounts tell the story of Bonham picking up an extra pair of sticks out of frustration during a recording session, resulting in a hard driving rhythm that inspired this track. "Four Sticks" was released on the B side of "Rock and Roll" in 1972, and all eight songs on the album have become staples on classic rock radio.

The untitled album includes the band's signature song "Stairway to Heaven", and is one of the highest selling albums of all time.
5. Complete the title of folk duo Simon & Garfunkel's 1966 hit "The 59th Street Bridge Song (___________ ______________)".

Answer: Feelin' Groovy

Appearing on the 1966 album "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" and released as a single for the first time in 1967, Paul Simon's upbeat lyrics were a reminder to enjoy life during a period when America was embroiled in political, racial, and cultural tension. The song was included in the duo's set at the Monterey Pop Festival later the same year, and a second single release came three years later.

Like many of Simon and Garfunkel's tunes, the title references a New York City landmark. (The Queensboro Bridge, which crosses the East River between Queens and Manhattan, is also known as the 59th Street Bridge.)
6. According to a Steve Young classic that was also recorded in 1980 by the Eagles, where can we find "moonlight and moss in the trees"?

Answer: Seven Bridges Road

Written in 1969 and covered by a number of artists including Joan Baez, Rita Coolidge, and several country and western singers, "Seven Bridges Road" is probably Steve Young's most well known writing. The Eagles' version reached number twenty-one on the Billboard charts in 1980.
7. Originally released on "Let It Be", which Beatles song included a brief clip of John Lennon singing a line from the folk ballad "Danny Boy"?

Answer: (The) One After 909

Despite appearing on the Beatles' last studio album, "The One After 909" was written in the 1950s and is one of Lennon and McCartney's earliest efforts. The 909 is a train number, and the song tells the story of a man following his lover to the train station, only to be told by the railway man that he's at the wrong place. The recording was done during the 1969 roof top concert, and John's rather garbled snippet of "Danny Boy" at the end was a joking addition to the background noise on the roof.
8. A 1971 hit by which shock rocker described life at a certain age, with lyrics that included "I'm a boy and I'm a man" and "I'm in the middle, the middle of life"?

Answer: Alice Cooper

The king of shock rock released "I'm Eighteen" on the 1970 "Love it to Death" album, and the single reached the top 25 on Billboard charts the following year. The song also gained the band its first major recognition in mainstream rock music and opened the door for a successful career that would span decades. Well known for his outrageous stage theatrics, he has also made numerous appearances in movies and television, including a commercial for Staples which featured references to another hit, "School's Out".
9. In which oddly titled song does Bob Dylan berate an unknown person for being a fair weather friend, stating that "You gotta lot of nerve to say you are my friend"?

Answer: Positively 4th Street

The object of Dylan's negative words and the meaning of the title have led to a lot of speculation by critics and fans since the song's release in 1965. It seems likely that "4th Street" refers to Greenwich Village in New York City, an area that was at the center of the folk music movement and where Dylan once lived.

His reluctance to comment on the subject of the lyrics have led to many opinions. Some believe he was speaking to a specific person, while others believe it was a general reaction to harsh words from fans who had accused him of changing his style and selling out. Regardless, the track was listed at number 206 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 all time greatest songs, and it remains one of Dylan's most well known.
10. "Write me up for one twenty five. Post my picture wanted dead or alive." Which rocker had a hard time driving the speed limit in 1984?

Answer: Sammy Hagar

Sammy Hagar wrote "I Can't Drive 55" after he received a speeding ticket in New York State. Released on the album "VOA", it quickly became his signature song and led to a hit music video the same year. Often heard during NASCAR telecasts, it was used in 2007 for a popular NAPA Auto Parts commercial that included appearances by Hagar and drivers Dale Jarrett and Michael Waltrip.
