Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)

Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.

Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.

After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.

Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.

I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.

In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.

In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.

Here goes!

For:

500 points…………………American musician, born in Dallas, Texas in 1945. He appears on the 1001 list a few times in a few different capacities:

a) as a solo artist (whose debut album cover, according to the wikipedia image caption, features him “sitting outside in the snow and playing a guitar, with a toy giraffe nearby”)

b) as a member of a short-lived, early ’70s band that was named after a city in Virginia (the location of the First & Second Battles of Bull Run)

c) as a member of a sometimes trio / sometimes quartet, whose second album name is referenced when there is a glitch in The Matrix…

400 points……………….Curiously, all of the aforementioned acts affiliated with this artist released self-titled albums: his trio’s eponymous debut (without Neil Young, in 1969), his solo debut (1970), and his band (Manassas)’s debut (1972). Talk about Déjà Vu!
