Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "When you're alone in some city hotel, you can get company by ringing a bell. You might go pick up a girl on the street, but my baby gives it up totally free."

Answer: Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane

"My Baby Gives It Away," from "Rough Mix." Former Faces/Small Faces bass player Ronnie Lane lived here in Austin, Texas for several years, before he finally died of complications related to Multiple Sclerosis.
2. "Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair. Now we're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square."

Answer: Judas Priest

That's Judas Priest's cover of "Diamonds and Rust," a song originally writen by Joan Baez, about her troubled relationship with Bob Dylan. If Judas Priest seems like an odd band to cover such a song, well, they actually took their name from a song on Dylan's "John Wesley Harding" album ("The Ballad of Frankie Lee & Judas Priest").
3. "Take me to the hotel. Baggage gone, oh well. Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room? I wanna move. I'm playing in a travelin' band."

Answer: Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Travelin' Band," John Fogarty's classic about life on the road.

Answer: Grand Funk

"We're an American Band," from Flint, Michigan's favorite sons (Michael Moore may be a very distant second).

Answer: Dire Straits

"Calling Elvis," from "On Every Street." The ever-busy Mark Knopfler says he wrote the song after an exasperated friend who'd been trying unsuccessfully to phone him said "Calling you is about as useless as calling Elvis."
6. "The same hotel, the same old room. I'm on the road again. She needed so much more than I could give. We knew our love could not pretend broken hearts can always mend."

Answer: Journey

"Send Her My Love," from "Frontiers," a sad reflection on the difficulty of long-distance relationships.
7. "So, you thought you might like to go to the show? To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow? I got some bad news for you, Sunshine- Pink isn't well. He stayed back at the hotel. And he sent us along as a surrogate band."

Answer: Pink Floyd

"In the Flesh," from "The Wall."
8. "There's pigeons down on Market Square. She's standing in her underwear, looking down from a hotel room. Nightfall will be coming soon."

Answer: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

"Mary Jane's Last Dance," which spawned a mighty weird video.
9. "We ended up at the Grand Hotel. It was empty, cold and bare. But with the Rolling Truck Stones Thing just outside, making our music there. With a few red lights and a few old beds, we made a place to sweat."

Answer: Deep Purple

"Smoke on the Water," the first song any self-respecting guitar student learns to play!
