Well, it has been 11 years today since I first came out to bother everybody here at CP. Watched things go well and some not so much. I'm glad Todd has such a good demeanor or I probably would have been tossed ages ago  Made friends with people I'll most likely never see, had fun with the noobs and watched some of them stay long enough to get the real hang of this place.Like a faorite pair of jeans I'm pretty comfortable here.

As I do every year on my anniversay I present the 2014 version of IMPOSSIBLE TRIVIA.  This time you have to tell me what happened on the dates listed.  They all have to to with rock/pop and cars in one way or another. Name the song and artist if the date pertains to a song, name the artist involved if the date doesn't pertain to a song. The contest last year apparently was too easy since it only lasted a few hours.  That won't be the case this year. May the Google-Fu be with you cause you're gonna need it.
Tone-ny already won so the rest of you are playing for second place.
 
Rules.
 
Must be a member for at least 6 months and have 100 posts minimum. 3 guesses per day, I'll only tell you how many you got wrong, not which ones. In the event of a tie the tie breaker question (which does not pretain to rock/pop or cars) will come into play.  You can research it ahead of time if you want but you don't have to list it as one of your answers unless I tell you.

BIGJAKE WINS - All done here.

Good Luck!

Congrats on the Anni Ray.  Great having you around.  You pulled me in early when I was a young member and I have always remembered your hospitality.
