Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4)


I'll keep tabs on the thread and respond when correct.

 

1) 1978 marked the release of two freshman albums from separate bands that rocked the charts and lived on the radio for weeks. Name the two bands.

 

2) Name the four original members of the Stax house band.

 

3) What blues legend kicked Led Zep's ass in court?

4) What the two states where Buddy Holly was born, and died.

@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. 

Buddy Holly died in a plane crash after playing a show at the Surf Ballroom, a super-cool venue in Clear Lake, Iowa, that we ride past every few years on a bicycle ride across Iowa.  The day the music died.

A great insight into James Burton's work is Roy Orbison's "Black And White Night." Concert at a L.A. nightclub a year before he died.
