Don't know but the info supposedly went to Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC sports and NBC Olympics, for $50,000.

Oh, and just read this. Now she says that You're So Vain isn't the only song of hers this mystery man is featured in.

sorry about that LL, i was responding to the news article on tv, didnt mean to jump the gun.
Go ahead, your question is next, DONT STUMP US AGAIN!!!
Its cool that no one got it, thats the type of question i want to ask but i always seem to give too big a hint.

OK, so I guess the next one is mine, huh?

Right, then:

Name the band who recorded the song I cribbed my online handle from, and the album it first appeared on.

(My money's on Estimate Lad getting this, btw)

The Loving Spoonfuls

Album: Sugar

No? That's not it? Are you sure? Damn, I thought i had it in the bag!

It's in the bag, maybe, but it's going to be tossed out.

In a word....no.

LOL!!!!

I think it may be Wire...but for the life of me can't remember which album and can't go look as I'm at work!

It is indeed Wire. Good job!

Now all I need is the title of the LP that "Outdoor Miner" comes from.

Chairs Missing! Not hear that for a long long time.

Okay who didn't appear at Woodstock (original) but was supposed to be on the bill, and who played Woodstock who wasn't on the bill?

i believe the rolling stones were scheduled to play and didnt, and the who were not listed but did end up playing.

Not the ones I was thinking off. I don't think the Stones were ever scheduled to play Woodstock (I think that was why they "organised" Altamont).

I'll give you the Who though. It wasn't who I was thinking off. Bonus though if you can guess who I had in mind (and yes the act does appear in the film).

Here's a big clue for the act who didn't appear but was scheduled to do so - they wrote a song about the festival.

ummmmmm
just a guess
CSN, OR CSNY

If i am right, and i believe joni mitchell wrote that song and gave it to CSN it.

or maybe you mean
Joni Mitchell

You're right...it was Joni. The story goes that she had the same manager as The Band who were also booked at Woodstock. The manger had booked them to appear somewhere else the day after their appearances at the Festival but new that there would be very little chance of anyone getting out through the mud, crowd etc to keep the later date. He sent The Band in and Joni on to the other gig.

The other act who wasn't scheduled to play but did was John Sebastian, who went along to hang up 'cause the Lovin' Spoonful had just broken up. He was asked to play a small acoustic set to keep the crowd happy while the tech crew were setting another act.

So, I guess its over to you Labradorian...

alright

3 part question

1 Who is Mr. Greed?
2 Why is he Greedy?
3 What was his fate?

Mr. greed, why you got to own everything that you see?
Mr. greed, why you put a chain on everybody livin' free?
You're hungerin' for his house, you're hungerin' for his wife,
And your appetite will never be denied.
You're a devil of consumption; i hope you choke, mr. greed.

How do you get away with robbin'? did your mother teach you how?
I hear you got away with murder, did you do your mama proud?

Mr. greed, why you got to take more than you can ever use?
Bring 'em to their knees; isn't it enough just to win while they lose?
You bring no honor to the game, you feast upon the blood and pain,
But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame.
There's corruption in your path, be that your epitaph, mr. greed.

John Fogerty from the album Centerfield. Love CCR and Fogerty.

You gotta wonder if he had Saul Zantz (sp?) in mind when he wrote that one.

Still no idea?
its john fogerty, buts thats not the question.
who is it about
why is he greedy
and what his fate, dont have to be exact, but if you know the person, u can get the rest.

Guess I misread the question.

Mr. Greed is Saul Zaentz, Fogerty's and CCR's ex-manager who had convinced them, when they were starting out, to invest all their money in a tax-shelter bank or something. Of course all the money disappeared. After CCR broke up and Fogerty took some time off, he came back to record Centerfield which had a couple of songs blasting Zaentz (Mr. Greed and Vanz Kant Danz). Zaentz sued saying the Fogerty was plagerizing Fogerty on the song Old Man Down the Road. If I remember correctly the case was laughed out of court because how can someone plagerize themselves?

yes
you got it lightning lad, i couldnt believe someone put the answer down but didnt continue with the answer. Good one LL
I dont know the full facts but there also some tie in to why Fogerty never released a solo alnum for like 12 years or something. Dont know for sure though.
Youre up again LL

Thanks LAB. I'll have to come up with a question later. Time to hit the road and get home after I make a few stops.

I thought LL had answered it when he posted the lyrics, oddly enough. I didn't interpret the question to mean "Who is Mr. Greed based on?"

You and me both Outdoor Miner. I thought the lyrics would be the answer. Anyway, I'm more than happy to let you have the next question if you want. Its getting harder for me to try and fool Labradorian.

You won it fair and square, so I'd only take it if you wanted to skip.

Go ahead OM. I pass the torch to you willingly.
