True. I have no idea. The Next Poster can carry a tune pretty well. ---

True - remember, like dancing, enthusiasm trumps talent every time. TNP tried vegetarianism but no no longer worries about eating animals. ---

True and glad you posted it, EH. And since my music tastes are so ‘80s, TNP knows the name of the lead singer of Blondie( and yes that’s the BAND’s name not the singer’s). ---

I did it again! Ok, true once when in my 20s when had no money and briefly recently when my wife wanted to try it after her cancer surgery. Neither took and we are back to eating meat. TNP can name lead singer of Blondie (see above post). ---

True (Deborah Harry). TNP can name the three members of Cream. ---

True. It’s Eric Clapton… and the two others. TNP couldn’t tell you a single Bruno Mars song. ---

True. I’d also be unable to name a Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, or Pitbull song. TNP can, without hesitation, name their all-time favorite sitcom. ---

And it all started with a Big Bang (BANG!) TNP has had to move this past year. ---

False, I barely moved off the couch. TNP can sing at least one theme song from any TV show from the 1960s. ---

No, although I’d recognize the tunes of a lot of them. As to Muddy Waters: [Muddy Waters - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muddy_Waters) TNP is tone-deaf. ---

False, everything reminds me of music and it runs thru my head daily (thanks to years of piano lessons, band music at school, LP then DVD collection etc.). TNP can give mnemonics for the musical staff, ie “bar-notes” and “open-notes”. ---

Nope, not a one, although I have several musician friends who probably could. TNP has been to a live musical performance in the past week. ---

Yes, saw a performance of the musical ‘Something Rotten’. TNP knows which is the only animated movie nominated for a Best Picture Oscar (before they had a separate animated category). ---

False, I would have guessed _Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs_ but guesses, even if accurate, don’t count as knowledge. TNP knows enough about the phases of the moon to look at it and say if tomorrow’s moon will be more or less full without having to look it up. ---

False, and I vaguely remember when my daughter learned about them years ago in school. TNP still watches cartoons. ---

True. I watch the Simpsons now and then. TNP has not replaced a light bulb in the last 30 days ---

True. Since we switched to LEDs, I hardly ever change a light bulb. It’s been over a year, I’m sure. TNP had a nice cozy fire in the fireplace this weekend. ---

No, not cold enough yet. We even have the A/C on today! **Mean Mr. Mustard** , what’s the animated movie you were thinking of? TNP wants to know, too. ---

False. I already know without checking. It’s Beauty and the Beast. TNP is right now in a room with white walls. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=64) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=66)
