Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Is the link Elvis Presley?

Viva Las Vegas was covered by the DKs and I'm So Lonesome was written by Hank Williams and covered by Elvis - no idea where The Crickets fit in though

I'm afraid not Elvis...

Shall I add a clue or is it too soon?

Too soon let others have a think

Something to do with cover versions? No idea what though.

Do you know Andy? You sound (or I read) confident

No I don't know, I was thinking covers hence the Elvis idea. There are a couple of DK albums in my collection but certain no Hank Williams or The Crickets so I am struggling as they are all different eras, and different locations within the US

OK Time for a clue, Bobby Fuller Four! Any better?

I fought the Law. Has been done by all of them

We have a winner, for two bonus points, who would be next and what's the relationship with Buddy Holly?

 

[zagatoes30]

The Clash, Rudie can't fail is very similar to Fade Away same Bo Diddly beat

 

[Jnismith]

Well moving on from the first part of the above. Here’s a question.

What links the following jobs: Painter, Librarian, Actor, Chiropractor?

 

[Jnismith]

... and since that has met with deafening silence, the link is musical.

Kate Bush?

Sting?

 

[Jnismith]

No. Another clue. They are the jobs that members of the band had after the band broke up.

 

[Navcorr]

Slade, The Wurzels, The Stone Roses, Metallica....

 

[midlifecrisis]

I'm trying to think of bands, my guess is that the singer is now the actor. Possibly Altered Images? Clare Grogan being the actress...

Sting did some acting but the Police was a 3 piece, Spandau Ballet 5 with two actors. Other bands have people who've presented like Brian Johnson but not acted. Phil Collins, Genesis 3 piece..

The Clash? I think Mick Jones has a public Rock n Roll library

Yes. Mick Jones opened up his collection, Joe Strummer acted in a number of films, Paul Simenon is a painter and Terry Chimes (Tory Crimes) is a chiropractor.
