Kieth Moon was at the gig that the Who/High Numbers were playing at and said he could play better than their drummer. He got on the kit and played the life out of it, and smashed it up. He got the gig, and the rest is history.

That's correct Mike.

Jesse Ed Davis

Right you are, Brian. Davis is one of the great under-rated players of all time.

Tell me this: Who are the Silver Wilburys?

Morris Garage.

[antipodean]

I would have thought if they named themselves after the car, the band would have been called "The Limey Lemons"... kind of a counterpoint to "Green Onions"

In 1986, 3 different female artists were in the top 3 places of the U.S. charts. Name them and their songs that charted for them.

Was Cyndi Lauper the number 1 with "True Colors"?
