One answer, many questions

Often times a question can be formulated in more than one way. This serves as a way taking a bit of Cultural Trivia and using it more than once. For example:

Q: In Sept. of 1952, the Richard Nixon family had a cocker spaniel dog. What was it's name?
Q: In Sept. of 1952, Richard Nixon said on national TV, "...I want to say right now that regardless of what they say, we're going to keep it." What was he refering to?
Q: In Sept. of 1952, Richard Nixon gave his famous "Checkers Speech." Who are what was "Checkers?"

Most any question in the Cultuaral Literacy catagory can be manipulated this way. Now you try it.

Ok! Here goes!

What two bands have been charged with obscenity in Dade County FL...20 years apart?

What rock icon was sentenced to six months in jail for obscenity in Dade County FL, but died in Paris before he could serve the sentence?

What did Don Coil and Greg Berry do in the general vicinty of Meramec and Spring when they heard the news that Jim Morrison was dead?

I'm sure no one else knows that last question but me, but it's fun to guess!

You got it! That's a great question. Of course, all us heads from the old days know it, but it's a great question for a general audience. I'm gonna guess at the last one, though I hope you'll tell us the story. I'm gonna say "Light a funeral pyre."

I guess you could say that. They burned an American flag.

Just to confirm: Jim Morrison and 2LiveCrew was the answer to the first part.
