Questions, Answers, Issues, Requests & Honorable Mentions
-
Question (From da_pope) Re: Did his eminence miss the Blind Faith Poll?
Answer: No. Sometime in week 800 (at the rate we’re going) Blind Faith will be a headliner poll to the Traffic featured poll -
Question (From hawthorne) Re: A quick poll suggestion for The Church.
Answer: Well if Fish42 can make 4 requests in one week, I can’t see how I could say anything but OK. I’ll squeeze ‘em in as a 4th poll in Week #41 because I’ll be damned if we’re not out of the C’s and up to Dylan by Summer 2003. See Issue #7 for more details. -
Question (From Rexdart): Was Motherless Child was a Richie Havens tune…did Clapton’s a remake?
Answer: See da_pope’s answer here. The only thing I could add is Haven does a lot more covering than getting covered.
