Hello,
Nice quiz. I got 7/10, but I must admit that I only knew 4 answers for sure, the other 3 were lucky guesses...

Hmm, the third one... 9/10... Failed with A Thousand Kisses Deep out-taked lyrics, at first glance thought it's from ome of those numerous verses of Democracy.

But I can add that the explanations are partially incorrect: Death Of A Ladies Man does contain Leonard's previously published poetry as lyrics, but that's not only True Love Leaves No Traces ("the opening track...") adapted from As The Mist leaves No Scar poem, but I Left A Woman Waiting and Fingerprints were printed in books also, and the title song itself was a poem (published year later as title poem of Death of a Lady's Man)...

TOM! Quit talking about the answers :shock: ~ I was just on my way to take it, and here you are discussing it :roll: :wink: ! Tainted :(

*************************************************************

Eh!?! 5 out of 10 [not remembering at all how what you were saying, Tom, related, so I guess your input's okay ~ I just blanked my mind *obviously* :lol: and went for it]. I'd have had 6/10, if I'd known where Nick Cave was from :shock: .

I need to make reading more one of my spare-time activities :) .

I knew where Nick Cave is from, so I guessed the other guy is from there also :wink: I hardly know who the other performer is, I guess Robert Foster, he had the famous indie band in the same country where Nick Cave is from 8)

So do you like this way of writing? :wink:

Good question, Lightning :lol: ~ I wonder :wink: .

No, not really so important; just a fun quiz. Otherwise, we might not all be feeling so free to give our scores :wink: .
