Music trivia anyone?

ok, times up. bbloom came closest to the answers but not quite. here's the story:

by the late 60's/early 70's harry nilsson was recording and performing frequently in the uk. it, thus, made sense to him to buy a flat in london as a "home away...". since harry wasn't a full-time resident of the uk, he frequently loaned his flat (on curzon place in mayfair) to friends. one friend, mama cass eliott, died in his bed in 1974. four years later another good friend, kieth moon, died in the same flat, on the same bed. harry, understandably, wasn't keen on keeping his place, let alone trying to find rest in the seemingly fatal bedroom. fortunately, he was able to unload the curzon place flat, selling it to yet another friend of his, kieth and mama cass, pete towshend.

interesting "small world" story, eh. -kelly

QUESTION: what were they called before they became known as BLUE OYSTER CULT?

Here's one: What was the original name for the song that later become the Beatles' "Yesterday"?

FYI; Ry Cooder did the soundtrack for the somewhat obscure movie "Streets of Fire", a rock and roll fable. Undertaker4 was on the right track. This movie starred Michael Pare', William Dafoe, and Amy Madigan. BTW, Amy Madigan also sang a great song on "Cross Roads".

The actual soundtrack of the movie is teriffic, and Ry Cooder also played background guitar throughout. The CD soundtrack did not capture Ry Cooders music though. If you can find it the movie its great-- may be sort of sophomoric-- but I loved it so much that I recorded the whole movie from VHS tape to CD and often listen to it on my big rig. You'd be amazed at what new "sounds" you pick up when not distracted by the video. David, as no one seems to have gotten this question, do I get the votes? :>) Cheers. Craig
