I’ll give you Mayfield, but I was thinking of another… Did you take what Marthin Luther King said in an angrier direction? Did you start a major civil war, with some war crimes thrown in, and die before verdicts were made? ---

Are you one of the main brittish rockers of the 80.s? Are you one of the best football players who ever played the game? (it’s an easy one, so I ain’t jumping into no volcano because of this one :p) Did you make a world famous version of _David_? ---

Did you play a character who emphatically announced that she knew very little about the role of a midwife? Despite the fact that the bitch set you up, did you return from your drug conviction to your previous, long-held political post? Did you sing that you were like a virgin, touched for the very first time? ---

> [@Kobal2](#): > > I’m not Madonna nor Marion Barry (spelling ? the crackhead mayor) but the first one is a stumper. Have a DQ. **Butterfly McQueen** in her role as Prissy in _Gone With the Wind_, uttered the famous line “Lawzy, we got to have a doctor. I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout birthin’ babies.” 😃 DQ: Are you known best by a nickname or stagename? IQ: Do you try to be like Grace Kelly? That is to say, could you be brown, blue, violet sky, among other colors?
