This week's winner: Jack Steeley of Tampa knew that John Lennon was kicked out of L.A.'s Troubadour club in 1974 with songwriter Harry Nilsson. The drunken duo had been heckling the Smothers Brothers during their comedy routine, among other hijinks.
This week's question: Let's keep going with the Nilsson trivia: Today would have been birthday 61 for Cass Elliot, late singer of the Mamas and the Papas. In 1974, Elliot died in the London apartment owned by Nilsson. Oddly, another famous rock star died in the same cursed apartment four years later. To enter your name in the random drawing for the Weekend T-shirt, name the second rocker to die in Nilsson's abode.
