Rock -n-Roll Quiz: Is the correct answer Rod or Stevie

[vivfox]

In honor of the tour's Saturday night United Center stop, we've assembled a partial guide to Nicks’ and Stewart’s colorful pasts, provided in harder-than-you-think quiz form.

1. Drugs: Who said what?

A "None of us ever did heroin. Right there, that's why we are alive. We were careful; we didn't die. But we could have." (Independent, October 2007)

B "If someone ever says to you, 'I think you should take some (of the powerful tranquilizer) Klonopin,' you should get a gun and shoot yourself." (Guardian, March 2011)

C "I don't know why anyone would want to take coke now. It was different in my day, because it was all so much purer. Now these dealers mix it with salt, washing powders, anything they can get their hands on. Kids just don't know what they're taking." (ContactMusic.com, November 2005)

D "If I could get hold of all these people who are doing cocaine right now, I'd say, 'Let's just put this pen through (the hole in my) nose and we'll see how much you like that.'" (Q Magazine, May 2001)



2. In the '70s, when a not-yet-recognizable Stewart and his band would check into hotels, what band would they claim to be to avoid being billed for the trashed rooms they inevitably left behind? "They weren't particularly famous and neither were we," Stewart told interviewer Piers Morgan. "So no one knew the difference."

A The Who

B Fleetwood Mac

C The Eagles

D The Ray Davies Quartet



3. Match the artist with his/her quote.

A "The idea that any man — or woman for that matter, unless they were a nurse and I was dying in a hospital — would ever get close enough to my butt is absolutely outrageous" (in response to long-standing rumors that he/she once received a cocaine enema). (Q magazine, May 2008)

B "I am always crazy for hot (potential sexual partners). I am like a rabbit. I could do it anytime, anywhere." (A famous quote by him/her from the 1970s)

C "If I had gotten it together a little more, I would have had a better career. I would have made a couple more great albums." (Blender, May 2007)

D "I put Oil of Olay on my skin as much as possible and drink a lot of water — that's my humble (beauty) secret." (Daily Mail, April 2008)

Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks -- a tale of the hair
How well do you know your '70s hell-raisers?
By Allison Stewart, Special to the Tribune
4:17 p.m. EDT, April 7, 2011

Back in the day, Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks were two of rock's biggest hell raisers — battle-scarred, road-tested, scandal-prone superstars who battled addictions to cocaine and prescription drugs (her) and leggy blondes (him).

With a combined 80-plus years of music-making between them, Stewart, 66, and Nicks, 62, have embarked on the Heart and Soul tour. Nicks, whose first disc in a decade, “In Your Dreams,” drops in May, will open, playing a set of Fleetwood Mac and solo songs, then will briefly join Stewart during his set.

It’s been a bumpy road so far: Before the tour began, Nicks complained to a reporter about Stewart's lack of interest in pre-tour preparation, saying in the Guardian newspaper, “He's not a rehearser. He. Is. Not. …. He doesn't care. He's just not like me.” The tour's opening date was later cancelled (according to organizers, Stewart had the flu); subsequent dates have gone off without a hitch.
