Musical Trivialities

For something different, Matt, Kris and I went to Musical Trivialites at Borders. A friend told me it is a blast and they go every week. My friend was not there tonight, but we were. The theme tonight was Johnny Cash. A DJ plays songs based on the themes and sprinkles in trivia questions. You just walk up to him if you think you know the answer and if correct, you get to pick a prize from a bunch of CDs and posters that were not top sellers at Borders. Matt knew the answer to the 1st question and was just about run down by this large person. Matt backed off. It was entertaining for 2/3 of us. Kristen was ready to leave by the end of the 1st song. Things I learned tonight:
Ray Charles' nickname was the genius
#1 country song at weddings is High Friends in Low Places
Bruce Springsteen did a song that Johnny wrote
Johnny's singing at Folsom prison inspired Merle Haggard(an inmate) to become a singer
Matt and I are going next Friday when the theme will be smoke and water in honor of the release of Brisingr by Christopher Paolini.
