People are fanatics when it comes to their Pilot Razor Point pens.
They're reluctant to give them up. And when someone borrows one,
what happens is Inevitable.
First, they love the way it writes. Really smooth and extra-fine. They
go wild over its clever metal collar that helps keep the point from going
squish. Naturally they "forget" to give it back, although It's only 790.
This can be very embarrassing when they're caught in the act.
Others have pocketed Pilot's Fineliner pen, The one with the slightly
less delicate stn ' . "-

What was the name of Elvis Presley's

"Let's go back!
Back to the days when grease was more than the
drippings off a pizza,
But was a way of life;
When White Socks were more than a baseball team,
But were the coolest way to dress;
When White Bucks meant more than Buck Owens
and Buck Henry,
But were the neatest shoes in town;
When bleeding madras was more than
a leaky waterbed,
But were the swiftest shirts around;
And when man's best friend was his comb.
It was the . l9so's to early 60's.
It was the first years of Rock 'n' Roll. "

bank to uncover the lead singer of the

for you.
The Rock'n'Roll Trivia Quiz Book
contains very little text. Instead, it
consists of page after page of nifty little
quizzes, each pertaining to some aspect
or another of (you guessed it!) rock
music.
Neatly divided into sections such as
Food Glorious Food, which lists songs
with different foods in the titles and asks
the reader to name the groups that ate or
sang them, "Quiz Book" is a must for the
trivia freak. . . '
Another section, Take Me to Your
Leader, lists a number of groups, in
cluding The Raspberries, The Byrds,
Free, and the Jackson Five, asking the
reader to name the lead singer of each.
What Kind of Fool Am I, a matching
quiz, asks readers to match the singer
with the "foolish" song. These include
"Why Do Fools Fall in Love?," "Foolish
Little Girl" and "Fool on the Hill."
The "Quiz Book" authors, Bruce
Solomon and Michael Uslan, who are
cousins, both claim they were raised on
a steady diet of rock'n'roll. They grew
up to become oldies D.J.'s in college and
trivia experts, coauthoring "The Pow!
Zap! Wham! Comic Book Trivia Quiz."
Actually, both are practicing lawyers.
In the book's introduction, they invite
the readers to "have some nostalgic fun

of fun
with rock'n'roll," , promising that
regardless of who your favorite stars
are, be it Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix or
Bruce Springsteen, "you'll find your
musical era well represented."
Generally speaking, they've
delivered. Not only does "Quiz Book"
cover the early Fifties rock, It also spans
the Beach Boys era and gradually leads
to more recent stuff. Fortunately, the
authors were insightful enough to in
clude nothing pertaining to disco.
My favorite section in the book,
Woodstock, is a simple list of groups
including Procol Harum, Sly and the
Family Stone, and Sha Na Na. The ob
ject is to determine which group ap
peared at the infamous festival. Quite a
few surprises are in store here.
Also memorable are the snapshot style l
photographs appearing throughout.
These depict teenagers of all types
from the slick greasers of the fifties to
the flower children of the Woodstock
generation.
Some readers may complain that
"Quiz Book"is short on real substance.
And this it is. Aside from the in
troduction, there is no information
presented, but then it doesn't promise
any either.
Overall, "Quiz Book" makes for hours
of mind-boggling fun. It's the perfect
way to measure just how much you know.)
about rock'n'roll.
