Rick's posting about Pete Seeger on CNN not being asked "How did you write 'Where Have All...?" reminded me of a small hobby I have of collecting the stupidest questions asked of famous people. Some favourites (all true, or reported as true by the victim):
Once asked of Arlo Guthrie: "What kind of name is Arlo?"
Once asked of Luciano Pavarotti: "If you weren't an opera singer, would you be Luciano Pavarotti?"
Once asked of Sigourney Weaver: "Those scenes in Alien -- could you do those on a full stomach?"
An old favourite, asked of Lily Pons: "When you aren't using your stage name, are you anybody?"
Anyone got any, maybe even asked of you?
The performers among us must have gotten really stupid requests....yours, Peter T.
