How well do you know the multi-platinum band KANSAS?
They've been rocking for fifty years — can you Carry On, or will your score be Dust in the Wind?

1973 was a big year for pop culture. American Graffiti with Ron Howard was a hit in theaters. The novel The Princess Bride by William Goldman hit shelves, teaching us all that "as you wish" meant "I love you". President Nixon gave his famous "I am not a crook" speech. And a new band from Kansas emerged.
The band — fitting called KANSAS — would go on to be such a massive influence in the music industry that today, fifty years later, we're still humming along to their songs.... or belting them at kareoke.

I wonder if we can get S. E. Hinton (the author of "The Outsiders" and "Rumble Fish") to take this quiz? After all, she's the biggest "Supernatural" fan out there.
Sigh 4 right. Sadddd

I missed #2, #3,and #8. The others were lucky guesses.

12 out of 12
10/12 Lucky guess on the DC movie since I haven't seen any of them.
You don't know what you're missing! (And probably should be glad of that...)
No, I like that movie but HATE the Peacekeeper spinoff!
