You got the last one via the shotgun approach, you goobers. :p

Anyway: Michael Stipe's sister was in a short-lived band with an individual who went on to a sucessful solo career. He recently appeared on a late-night talk show with his newest outfit. Who is he?

Bonus question: what was the name of her band?

Ew. No. Mayer wasn't around until the 90s. He got started playing coffeehouses around Atlanta to starry-eyed teenage girls.

His current core audience, of course.

NFS4 isn't 32 yet is he?

Are you telling me there's more than one adult male who likes Mayer? :Q :confused:

;)


Hey, I have an original "handed to me in a coffee shop by a then-unknown Mayer" copy of "Inside Wants Out" I'll sell you for $50. :D

Nah, it's more an Athens thing. EVERYONE is in a band in Athens. This was especially true back in the 80's when REM, the B-52's, Drivin' N Cryin', etc were all over the radio.

I was a big fan as well. Imagine my surprise when my wife-to-be turned out to be their manager's niece. :p

yeah, that's more like it. I was beginning to feel very young. REM was before my time
Okay. I'll do something else.

What is the name of the man who was more or less solely responsible for resurrecting Triumph Motorcycles after they had folded in 1984?
