Jeopardy Spoiler!

[CTyankee]

I know the answer to Final Jeopardy!

I kept thinking somehow it was a popular song about NYC but then I realized I was WAY off! I loved the singer and his style, which was oddly unpopular at that time with folks who shoulda known better.

We get the Final Jeopardy question in our NYT every week day. Hubby and I bet on our guesses.

I do "research" sometimes when I can't stand not knowing it. Hubby calls that cheating. So harsh...

1. That's all we're going to get?

2. +You have to ID the singer that was made to testify before a Congressional committee that his

song, which became the his state song, was not about taking drugs.

4. Um, are we thinking about the same song...my memory doesn't recall those lyrics...

oops, I re-read your reply. never mind.

5. You said you researched him, so you probably know how he died.

[CTyankee]

6. Yep, I remember that well. It was quite a shock, he was so young, and even his death was fetishized

(if that's a word) out of proportion to the tragedy, which is what I thought at the time. Now I feel different. It was sad, but avoidable.

7. I started singing it as soon as I saw the answer

Did you know this person is the only one to have 2 state songs to his credit?

Think about it and I bet you will come up with the other one.

8. Yeah, I thought of that other state, too!
