wow, these are interesting! when i saw the title i thought i'll know them all, no problem, like it usually happens with most FM related questions you see in various radio polls, but i would know the answers to just 1, 2, 3, and 8, and even needed some re-confirming on those.

musical with Linda Ronstadt? definitely interesting!

Number 8 is the only one I know.

oh come on, i know you must know #1! i've seen it happily discussed on these boards before.

Since you only know 4 out of 10 you must not be the LB fan you claim to be.:laugh::p:D

yeah, with the other Q's it makes me starting doubting I know the A's to Any of them LOL.

yup, obviously not a big fan! :shrug:

do i really claim that though? :laugh: if i remember correctly, you claimed i am (LB obsession may have been your exact words?), i never did! ;) :D

I had the same thought and quickly got put in my place too, after reading them! I, too, am most intrigued by #10 , as I always wondered why Lindsey was never approached for movies, TV or modeling, etc.

I only know 1, 2, and 5. #3 I realized I knew after Elle told me, but I guess that doesn't count ;)

I assume that Lindsey himself would be stumped by the answer to #2. He was asked about it in a fan question and kind of burst my bubble since I like to think there's a meaning behind repeated lyrics.

you are actually better than me. really, i cheated by saying i knew #3 because i too realized i knew it only after i heard the answer, even though i have that Blue Monday version on one of my car CDs (but i always skip it b/c it's boring).

really? interesting! i have those lyrics on 2 of my lindsey-lyrics/request t-shirts, along with some other lyrics from the later song. :cool:

and for some additional trivia, i believe there is a member here whose ledge name is facesofglass. i bet he'd know where the phrase was used! :thumbsup:

Yeah, that was Gaius' question that he answered on video right after he answered mine. Did anyone downloaded these? I"m especially looking for the first Q he answered (mine, "gerald from the netherlands"), and the second one: The faces of glass Q you mentioned.....

ha so it turns out that facesofglass was asking Lindsey about faces of glass ;) :cool: - and Lindsey didn't know the answer?! :D

and i second what Gerald asked - i've never had a chance to see those vids - does anybody have them?

Lindsey was kind of like Urkel. His reaction was rather: Did I do that? Interesting.

Michele

:lol: Hehe, I can see that happening :)

Really interesting Q's! I'm most stunned by the Broadway offer!
