"There will be an answer, let it be" is on the dedication plaque of the USS Sutherland. Seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation two part episode Reunification.
(actuallly I heard the fact that it is on a plaque on a podcast, and then did the research, I'm not THAT big of a Star Trek geek!)

Hmmm interesting little fact there, thanks (the forum's Mr Kite will be very impressed!) Well, you get to ask another question now

Describe the callbacks to "Lorne's Offer To The Beatles" that have been done on SNL through the years.

You know how you find out stuff by looking for other stuff? Well this is one: Who are James Armstrong and Tom McNama? A clue: I don't think George would ever have asked them over for tea.

OK. I don't know those names right off. But I found a blues guy who was attacked by a knife wielding loser in his home. No clue about Tom McNama.

Close, don't know the name of that jerk that tried to do in George, but it was funny his wife kicked the guys ass! lol As for my two blokes, Armstrong & MCNama I was looking thru the Beatles Gear book by Andy Babiuk and came upon pg. 99 'Almost Gone in Scotland'. Here these two idiots tried to steal George's Ric 425 on Oct. 5,1963, at a Glasgow concert, but the police caught them and the Ric was returned to George. The best part they didn't even like the Beatles. Maybe they were jealous? You can read more in Andy's book.

I just looked it up in my book. Two 18 year old youths. Well, what a coincidence that I found a blues guy by the name of James Armstrong who was attacked in his house. Here's a quiz question: Where did Rory Storm and the Hurricanes stay the first time they went to Hamburg?

I couldn't find the answer to that one, so I'll just guess and say they stayed with the Beatles. Rory always reminded me of Roger Daltrey of the Who. Rory, a year older than Lennon and Starr came to a very tragic end at the age of only 33. Both Rory and his mother died on the same day in 1972.

Sad day indeed.
ANTHOLOGY pg. 48 - RINGO: Hamburg was great. I went Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. No van for us - we had the suits - we went by plane, which was a thrill. But when we got there, Koschminder wanted us to sleep in the back of the Kaiserkeller, because The Beatles were in the back of the cinema......
I'll never forget when we arrived and they said:"Yes, this is where you live now." There were a couple of old settees with Union Jack flags which were our sheets. We said, "Are you kidding? We've got the suits!" So Rory and I and the band all stayed in one room at the German Seaman's Mission, and that was luxury - absolute bloody luxury.

Anyone else got a trivia question?

Post by Amadeus on Jan 31, 2012 1:26:15 GMT
Might be a bit easy as it's off the top of my head:
Who was least interested in the Greek Island thing? In case you don't know, there was a plan in '67 to buy a private Island for the Beatles families to live on.

I don't know if you were looking for one of the Beatles in your answer, but I know the Queen wasn't too happy about them trying to buy that island cause the main reason for them buying it was to get out of paying taxes. So England passed a law that you weren't allowed to do that.

Very easy trivia time: What guitar did George use for the Rooftop Concert? And what song did John & Paul let him take lead on? (Watchout for this one)

George played his Rosewood Fender Telecaster. Tricky second question. 'take lead' that's American for sing lead vocal isn't it? Then I'll go for God Save The Queen by process of elimination.

Incidentally, The Greek Island thing? Ringo was least interested.
The Rosewood Tele question? He played lead guitar on One After 909.

Correct, his special one of a kind rosewood tele that Fender made for him. Hendrix got the rosewood strat. The secord part I meant lead vocal, and the trick part was George didn't sing at all that day except a little on "I've Got A Feeling'. -p312 Beatles Chronicle.
