MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW APR 21, 2024 #270

*There are many songs about towns...both big and small.  This one captures the essence of nostalgia, longing and the bittersweet experience of growing up in a small one.  Our protagonist's struggle to pursue his own dreams while being weighed down by the expectations of others is on full display.  This 1975 track peaked at #9 and won a grammy for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists.  Name the artists and the track...
 
*Barbed wire, gravediggers, stained glass and matrimony all came together in a video for this 1982 track.  With such a barrage of inherent symbolism, all kinds of questions are raised.  What's going on?  What's this song about?  We probably won't resolve anything, but we will rock to a track that implies...rock!  Name the song and the artist...
 
*This artist does covers and does covers well...Her first one released in 1994 earned a Grammy nomination.  Her second like album came 21 years later and included efforts on songs from folks like Tom Waits, Robbie Robertson, Paul Simon, John Fogerty and even, The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.  Name the artist...
 
*I'm not quite certain how long it took to write certain classic songs back in the day, but this combination of lyrics, music and vibe had to take a while.  With lyrics presented..."like a hurricane around your heart when earth and sky are torn apart", there is the suggestion that despite the existing chaos, there is still hope for unity and understanding.  1970 gave us this most excellent song from this British band's 4th album.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song....
