no quiz from Jam, so

[progdirjim]

here's a quickie.

what links Crossroads, Duran Duran, and Dolphins?

[Eating Lemur]

They are mammals?

[Yesspaz]

One's a song, one's a band, and one's a football team?

[progdirjim]

wrong and wrong. the answer is music related, and can be found on Aural Moon...

[progdirjim]

you guys give up so easily?

[Rick and Roll]

Her name is Rio and she dances......

Girls on Film........

Save a Prayer for the morning after.....

and I'm hungry like the wolf.....

more?

[progdirjim]

not Miami, though not a bad guess.

each of the three clues hints at a different person that played the same instrument in the answer's band (at different times, I believe)

[Yesspaz]

Mike Keneally

is hinted at by Dolphins - what do the other two refer to, and who is the answer?

[Rick and Roll]

but haven't really thought about why......

[progdirjim]

Zappa is the answer, Keneally was a guitarist for Zappa. the other two why's should be easy now...

[Rick and Roll]

but it's not coming easily to me. Could be Vinnie C. or Ike or anyone........

[progdirjim]

the common thread was Zappa guitarists:

Crossroads - Steve Vai played Jack whoever (the devil's guitarist) in the movie Crossroads (and he kicked Ralph Macchio's punk ass in the contest, despite the Bach bullshit!)

Duran Duran - Warren Cucurullo played guitar for both Zappa and later a reformed Duran Duran

Dolphins - Mike Keneally's band for some time was called Beer For Dolphins....

[Rick and Roll]

I got Warren and Vinnie mixed up....wasn't Vinnie in Missing Persons with the Bozzios? That Joe's Garage period is fuzzy...

thought Vai was in there somewhere, I'm not a movie buff... sounds like a "Devil went down to Georgia" kind of thing?

Warren and Vinnie (great drummer) and Patrick OHearn as well were all in Missing Persons. I thought the Duran Duran thing was more obscure.

In the climactic scene of "Crossroads", Ralph Macchio has a guitar duel with Steve Vai, the stakes being the soul of an old bluesman harp player who is Macchio's foil throughout the movie. Despite the somewhat predictable ending, it's a pretty entertaining movie.
