If that had been a trivia question about football at least five of you would have had the answer posted within an hour!
I'm only glad that Leggy Mountbatten isn't here to witness this ignorance. For shame!

| Rowan, took the name from the painting (Edward Hopper)... but Tom Waits is welcome to drop by for a set any time he just happens to be visiting town with nothing to do.

| Not sure The Rutles is the right answer as they were a joke skit on The Beatles done by Monty Python people so you could not believe much that was invented about them. It IS the top google answer, though.

| Alright, so it is the right answer even though it is hardly a fact. Those Python lads were some jokers.

"Archie Macaw was the first A&R man to take an interest in the Rutles. He offered to record the Rutles and recommended Leggy to Dick Jaws, an unemployed music publisher of no fixed ability, who signed them to a publishing contract for the rest of their lives.
Elated, Leggy put the Rutles into the studio. Their first album, Please Rut Me, was made in twenty minutes. Their second took even longer. Success was only a drum-beat away."

I thought the answer was the Velvet Underground but turns out they took 4 days to do their debut.
Lazy bastards.
