This week’s quiz features the unique brand of bittersweet folk rock popularized by 1970s singer-songwriters. Dust off your old LPs, or tune into Lite FM about 15 years ago, and test your knowledge of these sensitive, sentimental songsmiths.
Hint: two songs are also movie themes.
PS. This week’s quiz is dedicated to a friend of mine that I won’t embarrass by naming directly — but his name rhymes with Rave Doman.
