MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Apr 19, 2026 #357

*A 1983 song by this most eclectic British artist was co-written by him with assistance from Iggy Pop.  While Iggy didn't sell many albums, he was usually low on cash.  The proceeds from this hit though, gave him some financial stability for the first time in his career.  Iggy's infatuation for a woman hanging around the studio formed the basis for the song.  Name the artist that released it and extra credit for the song name about the influence of Western values...
 
*Much has been written about the plight of the farmer,  John Mellencamp was a huge advocate with his music and his dedication to the cause.  Another artist from across the pond, seemingly quite removed from a farmer's environment, composed a ballad we'll enjoy tonight.  It is sung from the point of view of an aging farmer who has survived the worst winter in 14 years.  The farmer pays tribute to his loyal wife who has stayed by his side.  Name the artist and extra credit for the name of the 1971 song...
 
*This exceptional band from SoCal didn't really feature one of their founding members on their first album release, as his contribution was lead vocals on 2 tracks and only 1 track of songwriting credit.  That all got corrected on the band's 2nd album in 1973.  His major contributions to this concept album elevated the band to another level.  Name the band and the band member in question...
 
*This great artist was 44 when he released his 2nd solo album in 1994.  The album captured the emotion of what was going on in his life at the time...not all wine & roses.  His marriage was on the rocks and there was a serious drug addiction happening.  That said, he was in a very prolific songwriting mode and this album turned out to be one of his best.  Name the artist..
