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!

Artist of the Week #5
Record POINTS Earned (Not Artist Name) in the comments
(scroll down for additional clues)

For:

500 points………………..American artist, born in Lynwood, California in 1959 (as referenced by his 2006 album, Straight Outta Lynwood).

I’ve argued that he is the most durable/consistent artist of all-time, both musically & physically; as for the last several decades, he somehow always looks like he is about 39 years old!

400 points……………….But the audio, of course, is only where The Saga Begins; it’s merely a part of the equation, as his memorable music videos, such as You Don’t Love Me Anymore, are an equally important part of his appeal.

And he also starred in the incomparable 1989 film/cinematic masterpiece, UHF.
