IQ1: Were you killed on the day the music died?

422

1 is Bill Bruford, who was a founding member of Yes, joined Genesis on tour after Peter Gabriel left, and went on to spend many years in King Crimson.
2 is Isaac Brock, for whom Brockville, Ontario and countless Brock Streets, Avenues, and Boulevards are named.
3. is Borachio, who sports with his girlfriend Margaret at her window to trick Claudio into believing that Hero is unfaithful, causing, well, much ado about nothing.

I’ll hold onto these until Elendil’s Heir’s DQs are answered, if I may.

It looks like you’ve posted neither an answer nor a DQ to my question, and I think Etv’s last question was an IQ rather than a DQ.

433

My IQ also references EH’s 1st guy.

434

Thanks. I thought it might, but wasn’t sure.

435

Sorry - thought I had answered that. :smack:

Sorry - that just didn’t look like an IQ!

Previous IQs:

Were you a very large rap star who was shot to death in L.A.? - As noted, this was Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls. Since etv78 asked about him first, I’ll waive my DQ.

Did a critic compare you to a small garden component? - Texas political satirist Molly Ivins dubbed George W. Bush “Shrub.”

Best known as a musician?

Were you the hero of the Walking Tall movies?
Did you write the short story collection Manifest Destiny?
