Person one:
I can actually think of 4 musicians born on Christmas, and whilst I would probably not guess at Dido, Annie Lennox or Shane Mcgowan, I do happen to know that this is Mr. Jimmy Buffet.

Person two:
Damn, only Def Leppard member I can think of right now is Pete Willis. It's not him, is it?

Anyway, I got one so do I do one in turn?

Person three:
1st Got his nickname because he used to sort of out the band's wages after gigs.
2nd Married one of his backup singers prompting his saxophonist to say that bands 'shouldn't let girls join'
3rd Won best folk album in 2006.

4th He's from New Jersey
5th He's won an Oscar
6th He's working on a new album called 'Working on a Dream' (bad title)

I can't think of many self-titled musicians from Jersey, so I would have to say Springsteen?

Am i correct?

 

[fedpayne]

Yeah. Sorry for lateness of reply, but yeah. It was Springsteen.
