Well it took Les two weeks to get it. They were all artists who appeared on the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome mix tapes Volume 1 and 2. Or it might be the Cleveland Guardians. I don’t recall. Anyway I got your Four Guitars around here somewhere.
So on to tonight’s trivia. Let us double our pleasure and double or fun with double the music of the 5 artists central to the answer.
Enjoy.
Diamond Jim asked me to stand in for the Wednesday night music trivia contest, known as Midnight Special, while he was on vacation. It seems he’s back from vacation. I’m going to forge ahead with my trivia question, though, because I worked so hard on it.
Equally impressive, I did it without the help of Raquel. As a special treat, I am offering it far earlier than midnight — unless you live in, like, Guadalcanal. But I may have that backwards. I think it’s midnight in Paris. (Moneybags would know.)
If you do live in Guadalcanal, how’s it going there?
If you don’t, answer this question before Les gets to it:
[Reads from trivia card]:
“The ‘Beatles.’ The Beatles were a legendary rock group, but does anyone remember the names of the four artists who belonged to that band?”
No, it’s not a trick question. I suspect that four out of four college kids today would muff the answer.
So sad.
And they wouldn’t know what Guadalcanal signified two decades earlier, either.
Facebook has flagged it, Twitter has banned it, YouTube refuses to display it, and Google will not list it among search returns.
“But what was it?” you ask.
You’ll never know. The courts have put a gag order on those who heard of it, and all written records of it have been redacted. The electronic media where it once resided have all mysteriously been lost, damaged, or accidentally wiped clean.
