What was peculiar about the photo of the Rolling Stones on the record jacket of their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow"?

I can't determine if the Monkees were ever on Ed Sullivan, seems strange if they weren't.

I would guess not as they were actually an "invented" band for the purpose of their TV show (though they did end up touring later). The show aired on a competing network, I believe, so no Ed Sullivan time for them.

Who is the only person to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on three separate occasions?

 

[Brill]

Eric Clapton got in for his work with the Yardbirds, Cream and solo. He was barely in the Yardbirds, just for their first hit.

I thought Neil Young would fit this as well with the Buffalo Springfield, CSNY and solo but Crosby, Stills & Nash made it in without him.

What is the connection between Doris Day and Charles Manson?

Doris Day's son Terry Melcher previously lived in the house where the slayings took place. He was probably the intended victim because he was a record producer that rejected Manson.

What was Paul Le Mat, (John Milner)'s license plate number in American Graffiti?

 

[anon1]

^^^^^THX 138, a legal plate that alludes to Lucas's first film as a student at USC, "THX 1138".
Lucas has registered both plates in all jurisdictions in North America. I tried to get it years ago and found they belonged to a law firm in Toronto.
