Question #11-- Hardcore ENTERTAINMENT!!

Easy one from world of Entertainment for the day!!

Pic 1 is the banner(1983 is just random!) of a particular festival which has been running for more than 40 years. ID the fest

Pic 2 is ofcourse the evergreen artist..ID.

Pic 3 is of an American Rock n roll band which was quite famous once upon a time.

Now, the combination of the three pics gave rise to something we all know-- What? Perhaps pic 4 could serve as a clue, its a record being achieved.

Fully Cracked by Captain Chandrakant, Manjith got pic 2 right! (that's 1/4 this time!! n correction- 3/4 last time)

Quoting Captain's answer

1 - Montreux jazz fest

2 - Frank Zappa

3 - So , obviously The Mothers of Invention (Frank Zappa was in this band too! Check the pic!)

4 - Guessin that the record being attempted is for max no. of guitarists playin simulataneously n d song must be 'smoke on d water'

Connect-- "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple , one of the most popular songs eva was inspired by the smoke that spread over Lake Geneva when FZ and Mothers of invention were performing at Jazz fest and the place caught fire! Co Incidentally, Deep Purple were practicing on the banks of lake Geneva.

Question #10

Identify the man on the right with Obama . What is his connection with the lady in Pic 2? Pic 3 is a clue to reach the connection! :) . Identify all three, give the connect

Half cracked by Manjith...Good work!

Man on the right is Senator Ted Edward kennedy, brother of John F kennedy.

The lady is Mary Jo Kopechene who was killed in the Incident called CHAPPAQUIDDICK Incident which took place at the island Chappaquiddick in Massachussets.

Correction from Manjith, Sorry folks!
Robert lost his presidential bid (1968) coz he was assassinated during the primaries. The chappaquiddick incident happened after Robert's death and led to Ted aborting a possible bid in 1972. Senator swam to safety, but she died and Ted did not even care helping her or letting anyone know.

So the funda is the Chappaquiddick Incident
