Pop Quiz – You vs. Supreme Court

posted by on June 15 at 10:43 AM

seal1.jpgU.S. Supreme Court justice, Stephen G. Breyer, failed a music quiz on NPR’s Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me.

From a story by Jill Schachner Chanen in the American Bar Association Journal.

Breyer may know law, but he does not know his rock. If you can answer one question right, you beat him.

Here are the questions, pulled from Blender magazine. Breyer got them all wrong:

1. David Bowie became so paranoid in the ’70s that:

A. He tried to exorcise Satan from his own swimming pool.
B. He refused to eat anything before his personal bodyguard held it in his own mouth just for a second.
C. He refused to go near a microphone for two months because he thought aliens were stealing his voice.

2. Iggy Pop, the lead singer of the Stooges, did what for an entire year?

A. He refused to wear a shirt anywhere he went.
B. He ate nothing but German sausages.
C. Spoke only in rhyme.

3. Ozzy Osbourne did what when he once checked himself in to the Betty Ford Clinic?

A. He immediately asked for directions to the bar.
B. He propositioned Liza Minnelli, who happened to be walking by.
C. Ate two plastic pieces of fruit from a table centerpiece.


Answers are …

1 – A
2 – B
3 - A

The answers are the best part. Especially the one about Ozzy eating the plastic fruit.

That Ozzy, you know he's such a crazy guy. He eats plastic fruit.

And snorts ants. And drinks his own piss off the ground at the Alamo.

To be fair, that isn't really a music quiz, but a celebrity quiz. Entertaining jsut the same, which I guess was really the point.

Seems like a music quiz to me. Actually a quiz about famous musicians more like. But what to famous musicians do? They play music.

I have to disagree Dougsf, music as a category for this works for me.

Iggy really didn't eat anything but german sausages for a year? I don't know...
