Tuesday Trivia

I subscribe to Ken "Jeopardy Champ" Jennings weekly trivia quiz (so I'm a dork) and he usually includes at least one music related question. Here's one from a few weeks ago as an example:

What unusual distinction is shared by these musical acts? The Clash, the Early November, George Harrison, the Magnetic Fields, Prince, Frank Sinatra, Smashing Pumpkins, and Frank Zappa.

To see the answer, highlight the next few lines with your cursor: All released triple albums--three-LP collections of new studio music, not live performances or compilations.

Here are two question from today's quiz:

1. Who famously wrote the slogan "This machine kills fascists" on his guitar?

2. What unusual distinction is shared by these famous people? Billy Joel, Les Moonves, Demi Moore, Brigitte Nielsen, Kelly Ripa, Dennis Rodman, Salman Rushdie, and Seal.

Any ideas (without resorting to Google)? If not, we'll have to wait until next Tuesday to learn the answer.

BTW, if you are looking for a really interesting book, I highly recommend Jenning's Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs which you can find here or at your local library.
