Should be relatively easy for most...


1. When you are absorbed by this visitor from another planet, you tend to focus your meals primarily from these four sources. What were they?

2. To follow up on #1, after you finish your meals from one of the four sources, you change your focus to this type of location, which also shares it's name with a metonym that separates spectators from participants engaged in this intellectual battle. What is that?

3. This guy had the hots for his friend's girl and pined for her constantly. But, she was cool to his advances. What was his friend's name?

4. The most famous pencil drawing animated video ever. Name the artist and the song.

5. This hard rock ballad was penned after the lead singer found out his girl was cheating on him while he was on the road. He called her during a tour and another guy answered. What is the song?

6. He participated in two shows on the same day, in two separate continents. Who was he? How did he do it? What were the show(s)? And where were they?

7.This song was about the lead singer leaving his small town life behind and being extraordinarily successful and enjoying the trappings of that success, right down to the pillows he slept on. What was the song?

8. This band told us to progress like we were residents of a country in Africa. Who was the band and how were we supposed to progress?

9. In the video for this song, everyone, including the censors, missed a "nip slip" by the actress who was also the hard rock band's lead singer's girlfriend at the time. What is the song/video?

10. The slow dance song most closely associated with a Young Conservative, the son of 60's hippies, who resides in Ohio. What is the song?

Let's see how you guys do. Should be easy.

1. When you are absorbed by this visitor from another planet, you tend to focus your meals primarily from these four sources. What were they?
Cars, bars, guitars and...people's heads? (Specifically, Cadillacs, Lincolns too, Mercury and Subaru)

2. To follow up on #1, after you finish your meals from one of the four sources, you change your focus to this type of location, which also shares it's name with a metonym that separates spectators from participants engaged in this intellectual battle. What is that?
Now I think my response to #1 is wrong

3. This guy had the hots for his friend's girl and pined for her constantly. But, she was cool to his advances. What was his friend's name?
Jesse

4. The most famous pencil drawing animated video ever. Name the artist and the song.

Aha, "Take On Me." The animation style is called "rotoscoping," where the artist draws over top of a filmed image.

5. This hard rock ballad was penned after the lead singer found out his girl was cheating on him while he was on the road. He called her during a tour and another guy answered. What is the song?

Pink Floyd - Young Lust

Nope.

9. In the video for this song, everyone, including the censors, missed a "nip slip" by the actress who was also the hard rock band's lead singer's girlfriend at the time. What is the song/video?

Guessing here -- "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake?

10. The slow dance song most closely associated with a Young Conservative, the son of 60's hippies, who resides in Ohio. What is the song?

Billy Vera -- not sure of the title. "What did you think, I would do...at this moment...." etc. (Edit: I think that song is called "At This Moment.")

Let's see how you guys do. Should be easy.
