Why are there so many songs about TRIVIA QUIZes?
Spring began at 1:48 a.m. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere; autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Day and night are equal.
Today is Proposal Day, a holiday for those seeking to marry. Go ahead, propose! At a sporting event! On a jumbotron!
Today is the day pigeons return to courthouse in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. No, I don't have any further information on this :)
On this day in 1984, Naomi and Wynonna Judd made their stage debut in Omaha, opening a concert for The Statler Brothers. Wait, is today "Take your daughter to work day"?
On this day in 1987, a Houston man was fined $10-thousand and assessed ten years probation for stealing 76,680 rolls of toilet paper from the hospital where he worked.
On this day in 1994, joy riders stole a car in Amsterdam, then abandoned it apparently without noticing the suitcase filled with thousands of dollars in cash and diamonds in the back seat.
On this day in 1996, a 21-year-old Muppet fan claiming to have a bomb took over a radio station in Wanganui, New Zealand, and demanded that "Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog be played non-stop for 12 hours. Police evacuated the area, decided the bomb was a fake, stormed the station, and arrested the listener. No one was hurt.
And now for the trivia: what singer's tour bus was hit by a truck on this day in 1990 causing him/her a broken back?
Good luck :)

Gloria Estefan, I do believe.
yes, Gloria Estefan. And now I am flashing back to my second grade self at my dance recital shaking moroccas (sp?) along with "come on, shake your body baby do that conga!"
I'll third that answer.
Was the Rainbow Connection ever a song outside of Kermit? I never really watched the Muppets very much as a kid...
Hmmm ... why go along with everyone else? I'll guess Meatloaf.
Yup, Gloria Estefan it was!
Jen, nice work! Do you remember her gigundo "comeback" tour with that "Into the light" song?
Kim, if you post a video of that event, I'd be happy to embed it in my blog :P
Laine, I'm pretty sure that's the only way I know the Rainbow connection, but it wouldn't surprise me to know there's another version out there. John Denver, maybe? He stole a lot of stuff from those muppets!
JD, you know what they say about the wisdom of crowds :) Doesn't Meatloaf only sing about baseball?
