This week's winner: Tina Pinkerton of St. Petersburg knew that Pat Smear played guitar in Los Angeles punk band The Germs before going on to play in Foo Fighters and Nirvana.
This week's question: Team Pop mourns the recent death of Howie Epstein, 47, who played bass in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for 20 years until he was dismissed from the band last May. Epstein, who had been battling a heroin addiction, was also the longtime companion of a well-known singer, the stepdaughter of a country music legend. (The two were arrested in June 2001 in a stolen car filled with heroin and drug paraphernalia. The couple split up last year.) To enter your name in the random drawing for the Weekend T-shirt, name the singer and her famous stepdad.
