Rock & Roll trivia...
A few weeks ago, I was in the showroom and the background music was playing a song by Todd Rundgren. I mentioned to the receptionist that I followed his career all the back to the 1970's to a band before his solo career. She said she didn't know any of his songs and I mentioned a few hits and that surprised her. She heard the songs but didn't know the artist. I said do you remember the story about Liv Tyler?She said "Steven Tyler's daughter?" and I said yeah, she was Todd Rundgren's daughter first!
Her ears perked up and I said Todd was dating singer Bebe Buell when Liv was born. Bebe led Todd to believe it was his daughter. It wasn't until years later that Liv saw a likeness in Steven Tyler and his daughter. Bebe confessed that Steven was Liv's biological father.
She thought that was a cool story and had one for me to guess. Singer Stevie Nicks was rumored to have had an abortion. Who was the father? Ohhh... I didn't have the answer and she said Don Henley. Okay... they recorded some songs together and hundreds of hours in the studio... Yeah, that make sense.
We went on to the Beatles... I asked who wrote "Taxman" and that stumped her. It was George Harrison's protest to the high levels of taxes they were forced to pay when they became famous.
George Harrison's love songs became the next topic and Eric Clapton in love with the same woman... Lots of trivia there!
I'm in the showroom with clients a few times a day and as someone is leaving, I'll turn to the receptionist and poise a Rock & Roll trivia question.
