Triple the Holidays, One Tricky Beatles Question: Can You Ace Jerry's Pop Quiz?
The Hashtag Holiday Calendar segment kicked off with National Start a Rumor Day, complete with some playful banter about hypothetical tattoos featuring Queen lyrics. (Don't worry, no actual rumors were started—Jerry made sure to keep things light and far-fetched!)
The day also marks Symphonic Metal Day, a celebration of music that blends the raw power of heavy metal with the elegance of orchestral instruments. Jerry suggested checking out Metallica's "Symphony of Destruction" for a perfect example of this genre mashup.
Rounding out the trio was Sadie Hawkins Day, which has its roots in the classic "Little Abner" comic strip. Traditionally, it's the day when women take the lead in asking someone out on a date—though as the hosts noted, that practice has become much more common year-round these days.
That last holiday provided the perfect segue into this week's Pop Quiz challenge. Ready to test your Beatles knowledge?
The Question:
"Sexy Sadie" appears on the Beatles' iconic 1968 White Album. John Lennon originally had a different title in mind, but changed it after hearing allegations about the band's spiritual advisor, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, making inappropriate advances toward a famous actress during a retreat. Which actress was at the center of this controversy?
A) Edie Sedgwick
B) Mia Farrow
C) Sharon Tate
