MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Jan 26, 2025 #302

*There have been more than a few brother combinations in bands...Brian, Dennis Wilson, Steve & Muff Winwood, The Everlys, Ray & Dave Davies, Duane & Gregg Allman and the Fogerty Brothers...we could go on and on.  This West coast band had brothers who debuted with an eponymous album in 2004.  Name the band...
 
*This artist grew up in Virginia...not exactly where one would expect a song about racial and economic tolerance to originate...but these values were ingrained in him.  He cut a song in 1986 that deals with the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S.  The track had unique appeal...grown-ups loved it and their kids could tolerate it as it climbed nicely on charts important to both age groups.  Name the artist and extra credit if you can name the song.
 
*A 1977 track contains words that are often a trite cliche used for comic effect.  The song's writer and frontman of the band shared the song to be about the elusive nature of love.  The song tracks a relationship from its start to an inevitable finish...all due to words unspoken.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the track...
 
*This great artist never got the chance to follow through on his plan to visit Prince Edward Island.  The next best thing was to link it to one of the final songs he recorded.  He had a friend, a fellow singer/songwriter who had stayed at his house.  The friend then extended an invitation to visit his home on the Island...something that time simply did not allow.  Name the artist...
