Questions, Answers, Issues, Requests & Honorable Mentions

1. 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

2. 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.

3. Question (_From Rexdart_): Was Motherless Child was a Richie Havens tune…did Clapton’s a remake?  
Answer: See da\_pope’s answer [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=149260). The only thing I could add is Haven does a lot more covering than getting covered.

Can I change my #6 to **everybody knows**? I DID think about including it, but at the last minute thought it was not by them and didnt bother to research that. I even forget who i was mistaking them with, probably either 4 non-blondes or siouxsie.
