Team Pop Trivia

This week's winner: Ryne "Zippy" Mendat from Bayonet Point knew that the Jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in Don McLean's American Pie. (Who's the Jester? Most folks think he represents Bob Dylan.)

This week's question: Twenty years ago today, Marvin Gaye gave his last public performance, singing the national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game. In April of the following year, a drug-addled Gaye was shot to death at point-blank range during an argument. To enter your name in the random drawing for the Weekend T-shirt, tell us who shot Gaye.
