Okay, a hint for that "connection" question. Clue: it's a similar answer to the other question I asked further up this thread. Well, there's a linking theme anyway.
Is this any help?

I suppose I just don't know it. And I was so good at danielt's popquiz, too.

Is it New York ?
I know Lou Reed lives there, Genesis well just listen to the Lamb lies down on Broadway, Leonard Cohen wrote 'Take Manhattan'...

So now I get the next one...??? *please*

War!
Frankie said "War - Hide yourself" (on T-shirts mainly)
Eric Burdon formed "War" (or joined War, to be precise) post Animals.
Springsteen covered Edwin Starr's War! (on Live 197?-1985)

Oh, I hope it's not colic. That can be serious.
Yes, New York *was* the right answer: U2's Angel of Harlem, Lou Reed's Coney Island Baby and Kirsty McColl's Walking Down Madison (but of course Fairytale of New York works fine too) were the missing links, so to speak...
Do we need another question, pop kids?

TowelMaster Posted Nov 17, 1999
Yes the answer was ,,,,: War, they all recorded a version of it'
So close but no c.......yet you get my points.....

Frizzychick Posted Nov 17, 1999
Hey 'Sus - are you there?
How about another question for BIG points?
Music Trivia 2
DelphicOracle Posted Nov 17, 1999
Big points? BIG points?? Well, complete the following lyric for 17 points. Title and artist will get you another 6 and a half...
"There were children crying and colours flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream..."

"The loading had begun,
Flying mother natures silver seed,
To a new home in the sun."
Yay! Neil Young - After The Goldrush
I love Neil Young, me.
I'll set a new question when I think of a belter...
Music Trivia 2
DelphicOracle Posted Nov 18, 1999
Hooray, 23 and a half points to Gaz.
I love Neil Young, me too...
Music Trivia 2
Gaz Posted Nov 18, 1999
OK, here is my follow up question...
Why was Marvin Gaye's album "Here My Dear" called that?
15 points, plus bonuses for gratuitous extra detail.

Errr, I have the feeling I should know this but am a bit vague. Is it something to do with him getting divorced? Like, the album is supposed to be his alimony payment or something. (As in "Here you are love, now push off".)

Frizzychick Posted Nov 18, 1999
Hey - I know this one - well the outline details - but as a relation of Gaz, I may know the answer because at some point in our childhoods he told me (as you do). So I shall keep my mouth shut - but I had to let people know I actually knew one
Key: Complain about this post
