We were disheartened, dismayed, even shocked that no one was able to answer all the questions in our rock and roll quiz last January. A couple of the boys in the Tommy's Lunch pinball crowd managed to answer 30 out of 40, but that was as well as anyone did.
Nonetheless, popular demand for another quiz has been great, but this time we have decided to pander to the apparent ignorance of our readers with the simple-minded questions listed below. Anyone who submits all the correct answers before Monday will win undying fame as well as a slightly warped copy of Billie and Lillie's "The Greasy Spoon."
