Notes:

  1. Unless you’ve been following that Cafe Society thread proving he’s really an answer for #6
  2. By George Harrison about John Lennon
  3. Paul’s barefoot & out of step with the other Beatles. The car with the “28IF” license plate, 'cause Paul would’ve been 28 IF he had lived (Never mind the detail that he actually was 27). John’s in white because he’s the preacher, George is in denim because he’s the gravedigger and Ringo’s in black because he’s the undertaker. Etc.

    For number two I wavered between Lisa and Ashanti.
    Many other plane crash victims came to mind but, ashamedly, Bob was the first.
    I’m sure that when I look, they’ll be recording artists who were really murdered but all I could think of was that Cafe Society thread.
