One of them was a wife-beating, gun-carrying bastard and the other hated this so much that he refused to speak to him until he mended his ways, which he never did, so they never spoke.

That's close enough. In 1968, in a case of domestic violence, Dave Prater shot his own wife in the face. She lived, and Sam Moore said that he would continue working with Dave, but would never speak to him or look at him again off-stage. This continued until the pair finally split up in 1981.

Over to you otis.

well I'm not sure I really deserved that, and am amazed others didn't know it, but it is very quiet around here (I guess everyone's busy enjoying the weekend!) and I've become a shameless point-fiend, so I'll gladly take it and update the list.

New q: Which presenter/host of a long-running BBC radio show has guested on a Radiohead LP? (Tell us the song for good measure.)

Arrrggghhhh, I knew the Sam&Dave one, I'll just have to stop going to work, I guess.

Fortunately I know this one too: Humphrey Littleton on Life in a Glasshouse off Amnesiac.

In which case (knowing Sam and Dave) you more than deserve this point. Correcto.

So why didn't you set a new question? Maybe not going to work is a good option.

DrJ · Post by **DrJ** » Mon May 31, 2004 6:51 pm

Yes, work, doing my own job and covering for three others off sick/on holidays, while my evening replacement turns up over an hour late.

Now that that's off my chest:

A song title shared by Squeeze, Tom Waits and The Who. What is it?

DrJ

Oops, sorry!

And then he comes back and ansers a question I either do't know or am too plain knackered to answer.

Er, (I) Can't Explain?

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Mon May 31, 2004 10:03 pm

i was guessing on that tom waits part.

who pops up as the drummer on some pretty big time bob dylan records AND a couple of jimmy buffett albums as well?

Post by **BlueChair** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 10:20 am

Jim Keltner?

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 10:39 am

jim keltner is always a good guess, but not correct. i should say that to my limited knowledge he is not correct.

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 12:10 pm

if I ever had a chance of answering one of these, this would be it.

and I'm clueless.

DrJ · Post by **DrJ** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 2:04 pm

Levon Helm?

A guess.

DrJ

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 2:45 pm

no. he is not famous. but i don't know why. can be found everywhere mid-sixties, seventies, including neil young, gordon lightfoot...

Post by **BlueChair** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 2:47 pm

Kenny Buttrey?

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 3:37 pm

Kenneth A. Buttrey. atta boy blue man. sorry about the jimmy buffett question

. that is him there on the changes in latitudes album playing margaritaville, and drunken touring on the great live "you had to be there" album. and harvest. and he is listed on john wesley harding, blonde on blonde, nashville skyline and on. wonder if he's dead?

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 5:05 pm

but better known as Butt!!

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 5:06 am

I can't hang around waiting for the next question I'll probably miss... can the answerer have the option of leaving a question anyway? If it's just a wild guess for example you might not bother, but you might be right... If their answer isn't right, then no point awarded for answering the extra question, but more questions available to have a go at.

Post by **BlueChair** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:18 am

Have we stopped giving out points?

I guess it's my turn to talk:

Name three artists signed to The Beatles' 'Apple' label (not including The Beatles or solo Beatles)

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:44 am

No, I'm just suggesting that a question may be left to avoid the long periods without one. Whether a point would then be awarded for it would depend...

DrJ · Post by **DrJ** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 8:30 am

Badfinger (aka The Iveys), Jackie Lomax and Mary Hopkin.

DrJ

Post by **BlueChair** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 9:05 am

That is correct. I also would have accepted James Taylor, Billy Preston and Doris Troy.
