Team Pop Trivia

This week's winner: Mark Bedwell of Palm Harbor was one of a mere dozen or so Team Poppers who knew that Richard Hell of Richard Hell and the Voidoids had a bit part in Desperately Seeking Susan. Hell was married to Scandal lead singer Patty Smyth, who later married tennis ace John McEnroe.
This week's question: Tonight in Miami, Los Lobos will be awarded El Premio Billboard, the lifetime achievement award from the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Back in 1980, Los Lobos got a "big break" when the band was picked to be the opening act in Los Angeles for British punks Public Image Ltd. But the crowd didn't take kindly to a bunch of long-haired Latin-American "hippies" playing folk rock, and they pelted them with anything they could get their hands on.
To enter your name in the random drawing for the Weekend T-shirt, tell me what famous British punk fronted P.I.L. (Clue: P.I.L. was his second famous band.)
