1. Jeremy, 2. Nigel, 3.Johnny, 4. Rocky, 5. Jack, 6. Daniel, 7. Gregor

U "... is travelling tonight on a plane"

G "... spoke in class today"

A "... just needs this helping hand"

R "... wasn't old, but he was a man"

L "... was down again"

R "... never learned to read or write so well"

A "... had come, equipped with a gun"

6. His very first car, an old hearse, baptised the young Neil Young on the name...

N "Allen"

A "Mortimer"

O "Dylan"

R "Lennon"

7. After which silver screen-Travis did the Glasgow-Travis name themselves?

N Robert DeNiro as "Travis Bickle" in "Taxi Driver" (1976)

T Meat Loaf as "Travis D. Redfish" in "Roadie" (1980)

R Harry Dean Stanton as "Travis Henderson" in "Paris, Texas" (1984)

and that's it

maybe put your answers in spoiler tags so that other people can still try to solve it by themselves

5. Seven young men and how or what they're doing in these songs. Match the name with the song lyric.

"Daniel is leaving tonight on a plane" * "Jeremy spoke in class today" "Nigel just needs this helping hand" "Jack wasn't old, but he was a man" "Gregor was down again" "Johnny never learned to read or write so well" "Rocky had come, equipped with a gun"

[skybluesky]

you mean you haven't got the complete solution yet?

I answered the ones I know. The other ones don't need to be known

[Farin]

haha, okay

and good call on the wrong lyrics (it wasn't my fault though, they're already wrong where I got it from)

[skybluesky]

I know. I can't help myself, especially when it comes to a song I love.

Fun quiz. I should know the one about Travis, as a Travis fan, but I don't

What do you mean by that? 3-word solution to what?

I got all the answers and the corresponding letters don't spell out any words.

Oh, and the reporter used the word 'hairstyle', not 'hair-do', for Question #3.

yes, they do

and sorry, but at least you know what I meant

[MindCrime]

Solution

The answers spell out Ikhyd Edgar Arular (the son of singer M.I.A.)

[Farin]

that would be correct

[Brad_M]

Ok, I stand corrected.

I should have said the corresponding letters don't spell anything of the English language.

part of answer was revealed

[Farin]

could you maybe not use (part of) the solution outside of spoilers?

[Brad_M]

Oopsy. I took it out of there.

[MindCrime]

I had to google the solution and do a bit of research to find that out.

[Farin]

but at least now you know another small bit of useless trivia
