Answer: Why

The Pearl Jam song "Why Go", released in 1992, begged the question of an institutionalized woman faced with the ironic return to the home that in fact was the cause of her insanity.

Answer: Mandelbrot

Benoit Mandelbrot is considered the foremost expert of fractal geometry in the world. To explain the beginnings of his studies based on the order of chaos, he once wrote: "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line".

When Rice and Roach reunited after Jungle Hula's breakup to form a rock-and-roll act called The Sun, they soon incorporated the Bowie classic "Space Oddity" into their regular set-list.

Answer: J

"Bark Bark Park" was inspired by a park in San Mateo, California that did not enforce leash laws. While between homes, bassist Jacion Baker spent the night there which inspired him to write the song that featured the line: "Well you should get a house J, things would be easier that way."
