Rock and Roll Trivia thread

Rules: A question cannot be asked until the previous one has been answered correctly.
If you answer the question (and you're pretty confident you're right) you may ask another, but do not have to. It would help if the Questioner would pop back in and confirm the right answer from time to time.

What constitutes as Rock & Roll? Well, sometimes the lines get crossed into Country, Jazz, Metal, and even Rap. Let's at least keep it within the lines of Classic Rock, Punk, 80's Rock, Big Hair bands, Glam Rock, and Hard Rock.

I'll go first, we'll start with an easy one.

Close, but I think he was an English teacher

[Cirrus2000]

Semantics. One man's English teacher is another man's gay male prostitute turning tricks for 5 bucks a throw. Not that Sting was Shane's gay male prostitute turning tricks for 5 bucks a throw...

The Royal Guardsmen's Snoopy took them both out.


SNOOPY VS OSAMA
Key: E
Words: Francis John Burdett
Music: Barry DeanWinslow


Out in the desert.... in a real bad land
Some people want to see the end of man
Al-Qaeda took over .... from the Taliban
Terrorizing all they can

Now Snoopy's in the motor pool but wants to fight
He wants to keep his friends all safe at night
Charley drives the Bradley...... an' Snoopy makes her sing
Waitin' for the orders just to ... go do their thing

Chorus:
Osama Bin Laden keeps runnin' away
Snoopy's gonna find him.....one of these days
And when he does... (and when he does)... ya know we're all gonna sing
Good bye Bin Laden and the end of your terrorist ring.

When the orders came down, they were short one man
So Charley asked Snoopy "would ya join the band"
It's off to the hills...... and follow the map
Just get Bin Laden don't ya..... take any crap

Headin' down a pathway.... when a bomb blew up
The tank was out of business an' ol' Charley was hurt
Snoopy said to Charley "you just sit tight
I'll fix everything ... it's gonna be alright"

Then up ahead.... in a cloud of dust
Stood ol' Bin Laden just lookin' at us
Snoopy smiled and aimed..... then he fired his gun
TAKE THIS Bin Laden now you.... won't have to run

Chorus: 2
Osama Bin Laden won't be runnin' away
Snoopy finally found him.... and this was the day
He took him out..... (he took him out)... now the world can sing
Good bye Bin Laden and the end of your terror ...... (repeat chorus)

(Last line) terrorist ring

Here's an easy one: What hot 80s group was formed by 2 sisters?

Lots of 80's groups with two sisters. I'm thinking of Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson), but I'm pretty sure they were together in the 70's.
