    Are you a Nigerian prince or the widow of a Nigerian prince?

    I believe it's the psychotic attention whore Mariah Carey. ... And, no, I'm not a fan.

    Mariah is correct with 11 years (1990-2000). Beatles and Elvis are tied for second place at 7 years each

    For some reason I came across the Travis Tritt video of "Take It Easy" from the Nashville-based Eagles cover album Common Threads. The video says "feat. The Eagles" and they do appear in the video - the ODD THING is that none of them played on the entire album, though Tim Schmidt did provide a backing vocal on a different song. So in the video they are "playing" and "singing" on work done by others. OK - you authorize the album to raise funds for Henley's Walden Woods project and you even credit the video shoot for the reunion a few months later, but how f-ing weird is it to be playacting in a video featuring music and singing by others covering your earlier song? To make matters worse - they appear to be Travis Tritt's back up band.

    Based on the era and locale, I’m leaning toward Hendrix?

    Yes. He was a session musician. Those songs are the absolute dregs.

    Mansfield was known for her lungs, not her singing voice.

    No wonder she couldn't hit a B-flat.
