The Stand Trivia Questions

1. What is the name of Larry Underwood's hit single?

From Quiz
The Stand

Answer: Baby, Can You Dig Your Man?

Late one June night, a man with the surname Campion flees from an army base shorty before a crucial lock-down, bringing his wife and infant daughter along. They make it to the Midwest town of Braintree before their ride comes to an end. A gas station attendant finds their bodies, bloated and infected, in the front seat of their car before the ambulance arrives and the higher-ups in Atlanta are called in. It's too late-- the infection, spread with the slightest bit of transmission, is already branching out like wildfire. It begins with a slight headcold and the symptoms are apparent nearly immediately. A group of civilians from Braintree are sent to the CDC in Georgia. Meanwhile, in Maine, Frannie Goldsmith deals with the news that she's pregnant and Larry Underwood, a musician originally from the Bronx, flees Los Angeles near-broke despite having released a new single, "Baby, Can You Dig Your Man?". In quarantine in Atlanta, Stu Redman discovers that he is somehow immune to the disease, but nearly everyone else that came with him from Braintree is dead. One night he has a dream that he's in a cornfield with some powerful force watching.
