This week's winner: Jeff Rimensnyder of Pinellas Park knew that the Sex Pistol's original bassist was Glen Matlock. ( Sid Vicious replaced him.) Rimensnyder will look very anarchistic in his Weekend T-shirt.

This week's question: Country great Merle Haggard performs at the Florida State Fair next week. Haggard, 63, has lived quite a life: born in a converted boxcar, he was repeatedly arrested as a young man and did time in solitary confinement at San Quentin. His aggressively pro-America 1969 hit Okie From Muskogee was embraced by conservatives, so much so that Haggard later received a full criminal pardon from a politician who went on to become the president of the United States. To enter your name in the random drawing for the Weekend T-shirt, name this future president.
