well, if i managed somehow to post first....i'll presume to pose a new question.

wilco reminds me of sonic youth, who i saw blow them off the stage in philadelphia a few years ago...

quite a while ago, sy did a project with mike watt, j mascis and suzanne sasic (from black flag) that was a kind of...um...tribute in a sense to madonna.

what was the name adopted by the band?

I assume you are referring to CICCONE YOUTH. But you have some details mixed up I think, Suzanne Sasic was not in black flag that is what threw me, after some research she was the lighting designer for the band (SY) and in in the background on one of the tracks on the Whitey Album. Thus is given an album credit

Pretty sure that's Gene Autry. As a kid my neighbor used to take me and my brother to a movie theater that showed nothing but old B&W movies. I remember him saving something just like that at the start of one movie.

What hip-hop group is credited with resurrecting Aerosmith's career in the mid 80's?

Run DMC...

They helped bring Aerosmith back into the limelight with the collaborative recreation of "Walk This Way".

How did Kevin Michael Allin's nickname come to be "GG"?

Good old GG. If I remember rightly, he was born Jesus Christ Allin, and his little brother called him Jeje, since he couldn't say Jesus at age 2. The nickname stuck, even after his mother changed his legal name.

You are correct Anxst.

His father, Merle Allin Sr., named him Jesus because, he said, Jesus Christ himself came to him and told him the boy was blessed. (One of the most ironic stories ever, if you ask me.)

You're up Anxst.

Being he is Australian and as far as I know Colin Hay is still alive, I'll go with Micheal Hutchence of InXS.

Thanks, it was a guess.

Let's see..... What punk rock band made a tremendous remake of Frank Sinatra's song "MY WAY".

Bonus points for naming the singer songwriter that penned the song.

You are correct sir, Paul Anka wrote the song and sang it in the Burt Reynolds' movie "The End".

Who is the last surviving member of Lynyrd Skynyrd?

I'm going to throw out a pretty much wild guess here and say KISS.

I know they have a lot of albums and the timing seems right.

Nope. This band has had 4 more Platinum albums and 1 more multi-platinum album than KISS. They are a 3 piece band if that helps any.

OK, a hint then - he was in the second (or third, depending on how you count) incarnation of King Crimson, without James Wetton.
