A Louie, Louie....Oh, baby, I say a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Paul Is Dead Day. According to Paul Is Dead conspiracy theorists, singer Paul McCartney of the Beatles died on November 9, 1966, from massive head injuries sustained in an auto accident. He was replaced by orphan Billy Campbell, a dead ringer for Paul.

Today is Wizard of Id Day. The comic strip debuted on November 9, 1964.

Today is Fluffy Towel Appreciation Day. Ah, perfect for a rainy day in Seattle :)

On this day in 1963, The Kingsmen entered the Billboard "Hot 100" with "Louie Louie," the dirtiest song never written. The song, about a bartender named Louie, actually was squeaky clean, but the lyrics were hard to understand and rumors spread that they were dirty. No one bought Chuck Berry's recording of the same song in 1956. Want any more info on this song? Check out the Experience Music Project in Seattle where there's an ENTIRE FLOOR devoted to it.


On this day in 1967, the premiere issue of Rolling Stone magazine included a free roach clip.

On this day in 1989, Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall as communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West for the first time in 28 years.

OK, I'm trying to mix up the trivia a bit: Name the book and its author that includes the characters Tom Joad, Rose-of-Sharon, and Casy the preacher!

Good luck :)
