Tuesday Trivia

Last Tuesday I posted two music-related questions from Ken Jennings' weekly trivia quiz. Here they are again with the answers:

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

Answer: Woody Guthrie. Sometimes the phrase was scrawled, as in this photo, while on other guitars, it appeared as a more neatly written sticker.

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.

Answer: They all have been married at some point to reality TV hosts (to wit: Katie Lee Joel, Julie Chen, Ashton Kutcher, Sylvester Stallone, Mark Consuelos, Carmen Electra, Padma Lakshmi, and Heidi Klum).

Didn't get that one either? Try your luck with these two from today's quiz:

1. What band is named for a British government form for claiming unemployment benefits?

2. What unusual distinction is shared by all these famous people? Marc Bolan, Ray Bradbury, Jimmy Breslin, Albert Einstein, Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Imperioli, Quincy Jones, and Vladimir Nabokov.

Answers next week.
