I don't remember them, and I'd be interested in seeing this printed anywhere.

It took some searching, but someone has a few of these cream bottles for sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10906&item=6170646426&rd=1 They were very common when I was growing up. I'll have to do some serious searching to find that interview quote. Be patient. I'm only this tenacious when I know I'm right. :p

the band used to practice late at night at the rose hill cemetary in macon georgia.
one of the gravestones nearby, had the name elizabeth reed (1845-1935)
dicky betts immortalized her by dedicating a song to her memmory, because of all the jam sessions they had near her grave and she was probably listening to from the "other world".

You're all WAY too smart for me to even wade in here.
I've been thinking since last night of something that I know that you all don't (trying to formulate my own trivia question you see) ... and I can't.
Kudos to you all!
In RL I seem to have all the answers, but suddenly in the company of the Coffee Room I'm dumb as a rock!
...
I did get the Yardbirds question right though... (just didn't post in time)

Alright, this one isn't all that old, or all that difficult. But:
Who was the lead singer for the band "The Boomtown Rats"? Bonus points if you can tell me what the song "I don't like Mondays" was about.

Bob Geldof was the singer. Dunno the story behind the song.
I was born the year Glenn Gould stop playing concerts. Coincidence?

Riddles!
Bob Geldof, ah, what a name! Such turgid beauty in an almost transparent guise! Hark! To have such an assembly of letters in unison must mean the gods themselves are upon us!

Yes it was. And the song stirred up quite the controversy (not that I'm old enough to remember it!)
