1. There are many theories and for the sake of mystery Lennon denied all of them. I agree most with the theory that the Walrus was the Walrus from Carroll's 'The Walrus and the Carpenter'.

2. One of the children HOTH was supposedly Samantha Fox.

3. I know the Lennon's bought a Diesel Mercedes Benz Station Wagon while in NYC. Because of all the strange noises it made, Yoko didn't care much for it (like she should talk)(?)

Trivia Questions:
1. In 1973, a dissatisfied bar owner put a bullet through this performer's amplifier ?

2. What was the name of the first choice actor for the part of John Lennon in 'Imagine' ?

3.What kind of guitar did Jimmy Page play on Led Zepplin I ?

4. What kind of amplifier did Clapton record 'Layla' with ?
(hint: it was not a Marshall Stack)
The Telecaster on Led Zep 1 is correct. Interesting because people always associate him with a Les Paul. The guitar does sound like a Les Paul on that album.

I have heard that they were Plants kids, but I've also heard that's an 'untrue' rumor. Hard to know what to believe.

I had read that the amp Clapton used for that track was a Pignose amp (little batter powered guy). Clapton walked into the studio & put it on a folding chair as his setup. Some of these 'rock and roll facts' are a little hard to verify.
Hey Albert. SRV was far more important than Bowie in making Let's Dance a good album. I used to be a concert security drone and of the performers I've seen Bowie definitely won the God Complex Crown.

Here are some trivia questions on the Bowie/SRV:

1. What led to Stevie quitting the Thin White Dork's tour ?

2. What guitarist's licks did Stevie copy for 'Let's Dance' ?

3. Related to 2, what crummy Bowieesque MTV action ticked off Stevie ?

SRV General:

4. What Rocky movie features stevie (music only) and another music legend known for his taste in guitarists ?

5. Who gave Stevie (3 days!) free studio time to record 'Texas Flood'
Hey Undertaker ! Great going! You got all four correct!
1) SRV and Double Trouble had actually set up an interview promo/play date to support their new album 'Texas Flood'. It was to be on a day that Bowie's tour was not playing. Bowie heard about it and forbade it. Bowie's band used to call him 'Her Royal Majesty'.

3) SRV was rightfully peeved when he saw the "Let's Dance" video which showed footage of Bowie 'playing' his solo.
