Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

I'm sure I'll be upset Don when the answers are revealed. But I knew #2 only because Ray Charles has been on my Pandora app often lately. I try not to use Google.

4. the way I feel tonight by the Bay City Rollers

Turn the music way down low,
Let me see you in the glow.
In the fire light you are shining...
Though it's much too soon to know,
If this love I feel will grow.
Let's take tonight to start out finding...

Very  challenging  quiz...thanks :)

angelface555

It was challenging and yes I should have known the answers but I am the type of person who does not remember the artist or titles, only portions of songs. As a teenager, I never had posters in my bedroom of musical artists as my sisters did.

I do better on other types of trivia as I don't normally play music now except for Pandora's jazz channel at night and that is simply instrumental.

Thank you for this quiz, Don.

Radioman34

#14 Johnny Depp played Edward Scissorhands, an artificial man in the movie.

Let me see what Google has, Chia.

"In this article, I will be showing you how to make a crude form of aspirin from the bark of a willow tree. It is a great remedy for headaches, hangovers, and other minor pain. The use of the willow tree as a mild pain reliever goes back to the Native Americans, who used it in much the same way that I do.Feb 15, 2013"

How to Make Aspirin from a Willow Tree « Home Remedies ...
https://home-remedies.wonderhowto.com/how.../make-aspirin-from-willow-tree-014252...

Aspirin is derived from the bark of the Willow tree. Salicylic acid plus coal tar is another name for today's  aspirin.

"Willow bark or other natural forms of “aspirin” are not aspirin. Willow bark yields salicylic acid. ... Also, salicylic acid does not provide pain relief. It wasn't until a chemist began looking for a use for the industrial waste coal tar that aspirin was devised.May 23, 2014"

"The ancient Egyptians used willow bark as a remedy for aches and pains, said Diarmuid Jeffreys, author of "Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug." They didn't know that what was reducing body temperature and inflammation was the salicylic acid.Dec 22, 2010"


Marilyne

Oops - I see that Junee, was first with the answer to #4, so I'll try another one for my second guess:

#9: HP, Microsoft and Apple all originated where? >>> In a garage

10. Peregrine falcon


re #11. Chia, could it be you are looking for White Willow?

I, like most everyone else just knew it was a willow, but not a specific willow. Salicylic acid can be found in other plants as well, including Meadowsweet which is/was used as a medicinal herbal. In fact, the name aspirin came from its old scientific name for Meadowsweet, Spiraea.
