1. I am not Immanuel Kant.
Take a DQ for #2 and #3. #3 sounds like _The Jazz Singer_, but that would be Rabinowitz or Irving Berlin or Al Jolson or Neil Diamond, so, take the DQ.

**etv** , if I may suggest, next time you might ask the first question and get an answer before you ask the second one. There aren’t many singers who are also visual artists.
Previous IQs:
Did Charlie Sheen credit you with saving his life? - While filming _Platoon_, a helicopter in which he was riding banked steeply, and Sheen said he would’ve fallen out had not fellow actor Keith David grabbed his flak jacket.
Did you pose in a photo being shaved by a supermodel? - k.d. lang posed with Cindy Crawford: [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/Vanity\_Fair\_Cover\_Lang\_Crawford.jpg](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/Vanity_Fair_Cover_Lang_Crawford.jpg)
Were you a noted female figure skater? - Yes, Katerina Witt.

Best known for rock and roll?
Two DQs reserved.
