I haven't Wiki'ed information to any of the questions.

Since Glen was a Beach Boy, I guessed he would have filled in for the others.

Pink Paisley Tele...this one is has me thinking.

Is Mr. Pink Paisley James Burton?

The two bands might be the Police and The Cars.

Steve Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn, Booker T Jones and someone else were members of the Stax house band.

Willie Dixon successfully sued Led Zepplin.

Buddy Holly was born in Lubbock, Texas and died in somewhere else

 

@tony1954: James Burton is correct. I vividly remember watching James playing his Telecaster on The Ozzie & Harriet Show. After Ricky became a Rock 'n' Roll star, he and his little band closed the show every night. And if you compare James' guitar solo in Ricky's song "Young World" (I had it on a 7" 45) to George Harrison's in The Beatles' "Nowhere Man", you can plainly hear that George modeled the solo on that of James.

 

I don’t know the answers to the other questions by I believe the Cars, Dire Straits & The Police all put out their first stuff in 1978. Sad too because imo, great rock started a deep decline after them & maybe just a few others faded away.
