After changing his name to Yusuf Islam, Cat Stevens got off the ol' Peace Train long enough to note that this author deserved to die -- and the Qur'an "makes it clear" that he must -- for writing his most famous book.

Who is Salman Rushdie? (What was "The Satanic Verses?")

Rock and roll jeopardy for 100 Alex:

How many number one hits did CCR have?

No you cannot look up the answer on google.

What is a trick question?

They had zero #1 hits on the U.S. Billboard charts. They did have some in other countries/on other charts, but I can't find how many.

I actually knew the answer before using Google to try to found out how many they had outside of the US. The local radio station does a trivia contest each morning and this was one of the recent questions.

davey moore is the other boxer, great song.

Correct! Davey Moore, "The Springfield Rifle," world featherweight champion, killed in the ring at the age of 29. Bizarrely, another world champion named Davey Moore was killed tragically OUTSIDE the ring, a week short of his 29th birthday. He sort of ran himself over; his car lurched forward when he got out of it while it was running, to open the garage door. He was still active and had won his two most recent fights, but is probably best known for losing maybe Roberto Duran's last great performance.
