The solid book Nick wrote…
Last week we set a contest to win five signed by Nicholas Pegg copies of his soon to be published fifth edition of The Complete David Bowie. (09.11.2009 NEWS: FIVE SIGNED COPIES OF COMPLETE DB TO BE WON)
OK…on with it. Here are the questions that Nick set, followed by the answer in each case…
Q1: The front cover of the new edition of ‘The Complete David Bowie’ (pictured above) features a photo that was taken on 26 March 1976. Now that you’re armed with that information… at which concert venue was the picture shot?
A1: Madison Square Garden, New York.
Q2: Bearing in mind that the previous edition of ‘The Complete David Bowie’ was published three years ago, among the latest additions to the updated A-Z of songs are two new entries which, alphabetically, fall immediately before and immediately after the song ‘Fame’. What are they?
A2: ‘Falling Down’ and ‘Fannin Street’…both, coincidentally, from Scarlett Johansson’s debut album of Tom Waits covers, Anywhere I Lay My Head. DB guested on both tracks, of course.
Here are five people who got those right and then also got lucky with The Random Generator…
