Kylie's album Light Years was originally going to be called Light Years Gas The Kurds?

A different event...a nation mourns...

[Blank_Frank]

Come on...you've got the first half of the answer right...

[Resonator63]

Massive attack and Kylie both used the same hairdresser.
He was a real mean guy and it was the unkindest cut they ever had.
That is the correct answer,unless anyone can prove me wrong

Kylie's album Impossible Princess was changed to Kylie Minogue following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in August 1997. A tragic waste of a truly beautiful car.

I now know more about Kylie than I ever wished to.

[robogone]

Was it the cutting of one word from their name? Massive Attack becoming Massive and Kylie just dropping her last name?

I think you'll need to supply some evidence there...DNA samples of the hair cuttings will be acceptable.

Kylie's album Impossible Princess was changed to Kylie Minogue following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in August 1997.

Correct! Both had to change the names of UK releases at the last minute due to world events. Massive Attack were advised to shorten their name to "Massive" for their second single due to the start of the first Gulf War, and Kylie's album title was removed (effectively leaving just her name as the title) following the death of Princess Diana.

We're a sensitive lot, us Brits. Apparently.

[Edit] The Fex got there first on both bits...

[The Fex]

Right. This is easy peasy.

I want:

1) The loon;
2) Where 1 died;
3) Who 1 had dinner with that day;
4) The owner of 2;
5) Who else died at 2;
6) the truth about the sandwich,
AND, even though he wasn't musical as far as I know, I want
7) the P.M. who died next door.

You get bonus points for the J.R. connection.

Go.

What
You mean you don't believe me
Now that truly is the 'unkindest cut'

[hakey]

I've got the answer to all but 6.

There may be some room for minor pedantry about 7. - the office of Prime Minister wasn't officially recognized until the 20th century. Before that the leader of the govt. was accorded the title 'the First Lord of the Treasury' (tis an old quiz chestnut that one ).

3. Paul & Linda McCartney

[Resonator63]

Larry Hagman the actor that played JR is good friends with David Crosby.
Crosby,Stills and Nash first played together at a party at Mama Cass's house.

Keith Moon was Mama Cass?

You FAIL.

[Resonator63]

Ok I got slightly the wrong angle.That's why I couldn't find out the the dining bit
But I was right about J.R Hartley
Go on admit it

[The Fex]

3. Paul & Linda McCartney

Well done. You have scored one out of a possible seven. No pedantry points, because the First Lord of the Treasury is more commonly referred to as the Prime Minister, regardless of his official title, and has been for centuries. There's no other first minister, after all.

Yes, Res, you were right about J.R. Hartley.
Not.
