Encore Question of April 3, 1999.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.
Answers:
I'm in 6th place behind the three Regulars controlling the top five boards. I had a dreadful OnBeat round and then couldn't close the gap after that. That was better than our group of ZEDMAN, LEAFAN, FERREL and Y could do. I put 50% on the line for the Encore question.
My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....5000/5000....1st/13 (10 way tie for 1st!).
OnBeat...7750/14000...7th/13...(four right, five wrong)...OLE JR and JARVIS win round at 11500.
JukeBox...12073/20000...6th/11...I win round...OLE JR holds lead with 15153.
Triviaoke...17567/28000...6th/12...KELLY wins round and takes lead.
Question:...What band was named to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, 20 years after they broke up?
I've got to think about this. From one angle, I think that Moby Grape wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame but that's all I can put out. I press in Santana but start to doubt that it wasn't the group that was inducted but it was Carlos Santana himself. [If I'd thought of his name in the news, I'd realize it was just within the last two years he was elected]. The others have Grand Funk Railroad, but I think that year was maybe the height of their popularity. Yvonne "Y" mentions "The Doors". Then I think of them with 15 seconds to go "The Fly" [actually it was The Mosquito, a non Morrison hit]. OK although Jim Morrison died two or three years earlier, the group carried on for another maybe two albums. I've never been able to hear these songs played on any of those Classic Rock channels. 10 seconds to go and I say I'm going with The Doors but it appears I have no takers.
Correct Answer:.....3. The Doors
I'm right but look over to see that FERREL is 2nd despite being wrong. That's possible because he rarely risks 50%. I win with 26351 points. That places me 1038th in North America. The bar is 1506th as it turns out I was the only one of 12 players who had this right. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points for meeting the 15000 point standard for this game. MOLSON said their group went with Santana.
