I think it's about time to put this one to bed...

1.Country music phenom Garth Brooks is #3 all-time in terms of album sales, with Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, and Billy Joel rounding out the top 6.

2.Their name was taken from an old English divination method of predicting future events based on the number of crows seen at a given time. Though there are a few versions of the rhyme, the version Counting Crows references in their song "A Murder of One" is:
"One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for girls, and Four for Boys, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret never to be told."

3.It turns out there are at least 4 bands who had singles in 2002 with Dave Grohl. His main project Foo Fighters released several singles in 2002. Grohl was also the credited drummer on the debut albums of Queens Of The Stone Age ("No One Knows") and Tenacious D ("Tribute"). Also in 2002, a previously-unreleased Nirvana single hit the airwaves, called "You Know You're Right". Thanks to John Q Publik for verifying Tenacious D.

4. The original (and concert) version of "Tribute" contains musical references to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven".

5. "Movin' Out" is based entirely on the works of Billy Joel. There is no dialogue, as the story is woven from his vast musical library.

6. Curtis Jackson is better known as "50 Cent".

7. David Bowie performed on the original version, and Vanilla Ice sampled the bass line for "Ice Ice Baby".

8. Barenaked Ladies consists of 5 fully-dressed men, but no women.

9. Trick "trick question". His name is David, "Dave" is also quite acceptable.

10. Aretha Franklin was inducted in 1987 to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

With 9 out of 10, John Q. is the winner! Nice going John!

From music to mystery, here's a list of quotes. You tell me who said them.

1. The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within this prison we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.

2. At least half the mystery novels published violate the law that the solution, once revealed, must seem to be inevitable.

3. We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

4. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

5. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

6. It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought. Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves.

7. To me there is something thrilling and exalting in the thought that we are drifting forward into a splendid mystery-into something that no mortal eye hath yet seen, and no intelligence has yet declared.I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.

8. The good man is the teacher of the bad,
And the bad is the material from which the good may learn.
He who does not value the teacher,
Or greatly care for the material,
Is greatly deluded although he may be learned.
Such is the essential mystery.

9. Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to enduring fact of mystery.

10. Now comes the mystery. (Last Words)

Good luck to all.
