THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: BEFORE AND AFTER #8
On-air questions: Last week you asked me about classic albums and it’s my turn to return the favor. This week, we’re going to play another round of Before and After. To refresh everyone’s memory: each correct answer is a combination of two things where the last word of the first part is the same as the first word of the second part. This time around, one part of the answer will be the title of a classic album.
1. What 1965 album by The Beatles contains the songs “Norwegian Wood”, “Nowhere Man”, and “In My Life” and is also about a musical variety show that was hosted by Don Cornelius from 1971 to 1993?
2. What 1984 album by Prince, the soundtrack to the film of the same name, features “Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry” and is also about the 1988 film starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise?
3. What 1979 album by The Clash includes “Clampdown” and “Train in Vain” and is also about the author of the novels White Fang and The Call of the Wild?
