Just back from a dirty weekend in Edinburgh. So my next easy question is linked to this city. What band does vocalist Shirley Manson belong to?
heres a couple of Sat/Sun pics.We stayed at http://www.thescotsmanhotel.co.uk/ Very nice.

If you wanted trivia, you should've asked what band she belonged to before she was recruited to sing for Garbage.

Now Greg I already know that being a Scot.But heres another question that makes 3.What Jam single did the band cover.
So there Goodbye Mr Mc Howley.

I'll take a wild guess at Butterfly Collector.

Good guess Peter your right!

What actor, who once played a rock and roller in a motion picture, was in a rock and roll band called "****" in 1969?

Gary Busey - he played Buddy Holly in the imaginatively titled "The Buddy Holly Story".

We both played with David Bowie and the Talking Heads, then joined forces in the same band (which still exists) - who are we and what is the name of the band?

Spot on Greg... Fripp played on Heroes and Scary Monsters with Bowie and on Fear of Music with the Heads. Belew played on Lodger with Bowie and Remain in Light. Scotty - Eno is also a constant, producing or contributing to all these albums.

The name of the band is a gimme given Fripp's presence - King Crimson.

No worries Scott! I should have been clear that Gary Busey was the "****" musician, in addition to playing Buddy!

Ummmm........ San Marino or Monaco, Scotty?
