The winner of last week's Team Pop Trivia contest was Peter J. Grilli of Tampa. Grilli knew that it was author Ken Kesey who invited the Grateful Dead, then known as the Warlocks, to his legendary mid-1960s Acid Test parties. Grilli will look style-y in his Times T-shirt.

You too can win a sporty Times shirt if your name is drawn. But first you've got to answer a Spinal Tap question. This Is Spinal Tap, the popular "mockumentary" about the fictional British heavy metal band, is being rereleased on VHS and DVD next month, and -- even better! -- a sequel to the 1984 flick is in the works.

Actor Michael McKean portrayed Tap lead singer David St. Hubbins. Tell me the television character McKean played on a popular 1970s sitcom.
