MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW FEB 25, 2024 #262

*When this artist was 44 years of age in 1994, he released his 2nd and what is largely believed to be his greatest solo album.  All the adversity in his life (divorce, family responsibilities, drugs) didn't make it easy to complete.  The album hinted at all that as it showed hopelessness, anger, disappointment and regret.  Name the American artist and extra credit for the name of the album...
 
*Back in the mid-80's, there was a hit television cop show.  The series married MTV-style visuals with popular songs of the day and appearances by pop and rock stars themselves/  This musician appeared on the show 4 times as they used a number of his songs as well.  Name the show and the artist...
 
*For this artist's 15th studio album, he wanted to make a record that barely had drums on it.  His inspiration came from a 1966 Donovan album, Sunshine Superman, as he very much wanted that same kind of vibe, Eastern, very grand stories, fairy tales.  The frontman of the band gave each band member a copy of Donovan's album to listen to and help create the desired vibe.  Pretty unexpected for the rocker that he was.  Name the artist...
 
*This song became a staple of Elton John's early concerts and one that Bernie Taupin claims not knowing a thing about what the lyrics of the song represented. Not being concerned with rhyming or meter, he just chose words that he thought sounded right.  Any guesses as to which Elton John tune we are talking about?  Very cool if you do know!!!
