This week's winner: Tiffany Rocket Kidd of St. Petersburg knew that Jah Wobble was once the bassist for Public Image Limited, the British post-punk band headed by former Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten.
This week's question: Today would have been birthday number 48 for the late, great blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. In the early 1980s, in a headline-grabbing story, Vaughan was offered a paltry sum to tour the world with a major rock star. The offer, which Vaughan rejected, was insulting because Vaughan played guitar -- and some say defined the sound -- on this star's 1983 hit album. To enter your name in the random drawing for the Weekend T-shirt, tell us (a) the artist who made the cheap offer and (b) the star's hit album on which Vaughan played guitar.
