PEEHS - Famous Men Picture Quiz - THE REVEAL

If you'd like some hold music while we wait, check out the tournament Necro is currently running: Boardsies Decide: Best Song of the 2010's

Unless you like, and will vote for, music that I don't like/am voting against, in which case stay away from that thread!

Feck it, it's already time. Was hoping to be more prepared with lots of witty anecdotes and factoids, but my Indian takeaway arrived within the past hour and that took priority I'm afraid!

Anyway, let's get going with Question 1; straight away, we have some carnage! :pac:

Top Row:
Robert Duvall – Won in 1983 for Tender Mercies

Hard luck to Declan and Hello 2D - Lee Marvin and James Coburn did look quite alike, in fairness. But while Coburn did win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, he never won for a lead role.

2. Music


Top Row:
Muddy Waters – American blues musician. Inducted in 1987 by Paul Butterfield (who, I’ve to be honest, I’ve never heard of?)
Bruce Springsteen – The real Boss of New Jersey, whatever Tony Soprano might say. Inducted in 1999 by everybody’s favourite Irishman, Bono.
Peter Gabriel – British musician and double inductee, first as a member of Genesis in 2010 (inducted by Trey Anastasio) and then as a solo artist in 2014 (inducted by Chris Martin).
Neil Young - Canadian singer-songwriter and political activist. Inducted in 1995 by Eddie Vedder.

Bottom Row:
Tupac Shakur – New York Rapper, killed in a drive-by-shooting in September 1996 at the age of 25. Inducted in 2017 by Snoop Dogg.
Leonard Cohen – Canadian songwriter and poet, known for his mournful bass-baritone voice. Passed away in 2016. Inducted in 2008 by Lou Reed.
Tom Waits – Eccentric American singer-songwriter and actor. Has a voice that was once described by a music critic as “like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car.” Inducted in 2011 by Neil Young.
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly and super soulful American singer-songwriter, another double inductee – inducted in 1991 (by Tracy Chapman) as a member of The Impressions, and again in 1997 (by Seán ‘Puff Daddy/P Diddy/whatever he calls himself these days’ Combs) as a solo artist.

Actually, the Rashford conversation leads us very nicely into Question 4: everyone's favourite topic of Politics.
Only 6 of these men will score points. There will be 3 incorrect answers, including one from

Silvio ‘Bunga Bunga’ Berlusconi - Prime Minister of Italy on three different occasions! from 1994 to 1995, 2001 to 2006 and 2008 to 2011. Italians be crazy.

Green&Red holds his lead, with the purple tin coming in second. Zaph and Reberetta are just a further point behind.

In the race for the wooden spoon....well, it's not a really race anymore is it? LadySkunk's.....um.....exemplary answers thus far keep her "ahead" of the rest.
