i found it interesting to see the percentages of people who got each answer right at the end. apparently not many people know that when BN first met they sang CAD together. and only ~20 % of people know that song about kristen and the kids is called It Was You even though that's on his wikipedia page.

And those are the things we just tend to know. I thought those two were some of the most obvious ones, lol. I do admit that it took me a few moments of thought to get one or two of the answers, but I passed with flying colours.

I find it so sweet that the first thing they did when they met was sing together. It's one of those things that sounds so unreasonably perfect that it must have been made up. But I suppose that kind of thing defines their relationship. Well, the good parts of it anyway.

can't resist copying the percentages of correct answers here... some are not surprising, but a few are - as you also pointed out... just shows that what people think on these boards doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions or knowledge of the general or average FM "fan" out there.

out of curiosity, do you feel like sharing which ones? i'm guessing DW Suite, Bombs Away, Time Bomb Town, and either GOS or IWY?

I did the Meet and Greet for the Unleashed tour and we went to a restaurant and the organizer gave us a trivia question. The questions were so stupid. Like how many Fleetwood Mac members have there been combined. Most of us here would know the answers in our sleep. But even though the meet and greet cost 100s, the other people there were just casual fans who lacked even basic FM knowledge. They thought I was some kind of obsessed FM Rhodes Scholar. In fact, I abstained and stopped answering questions until everyone else got a chance to answer. They still got them all wrong.

It's funny, because when you participate in a community like this, there will be a lot of things you don't know, just becase collectively you kind of share the burden of storing information. I suppose it's like twins who develop different strengths to compensate for what their sibling lacks.

Here, I have no need to keep track of boots, because there are so many people who do that. With the X-Files, I never bothered with the mythology, because I knew there were other people in the forum who would write about that information compulsively. I could go to their posts to get any black oil information I needed.

There will be many things that even rabid fans don't know, but you still aren't likely to trip us up in a trivia quiz desgined for the general public.

Well, 8 is a bit of a shock, given the many, many interviews discussing it. Here I am toiling away so if I'm walking alone in a dark alley I can tell anyone who asks about all the flowers that have been cut down that, "It's Rappaccini's Daughter," while you just don't care why the attar is wrung from the rose.

That hurts.

my explanation: 6, 7, 8 and 10 are LB solo questions. i was thinking 4 is too, but forgot SN was singing on that album. so these would be the questions that someone who is rabid FM or SN fan but doesn't care much about LB solo would probably miss.
