Hashtag Trivia
Dive Bars, Chocolate, and Rock and Roll Trivia
Tuesday, July 7th, is packed with reasons to celebrate, and Jerry Steffen breaks it all down in this week's Hashtag Holiday Calendar, brought to you by One Coachella Valley.
First up, it's National Dive Bar Day. The Urban Dictionary defines a dive bar as a well worn, unglamorous tavern that serves a cheap, simple selection of drinks, usually to a loyal group of regulars. Local favorites mentioned during the segment include the Red Barn before its remodel, Neil's Lounge, and the Ski Inn at Bombay Beach near the Salton Sea, a spot that's reportedly been serving drinks since the 1950s.
It's also World Chocolate Day, so there's no better excuse to reach for that chocolate covered treat, whether it's peanuts, pretzels, raisins, or the classic plain bar.
And rounding out the trio, today marks the National Day of Rock and Roll. Why this date? Back in 1955, "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and the Comets became the very first rock record to hit number one on the Billboard charts.
To celebrate rock and roll's big day, Jerry brought two music trivia questions to the table, and it's your turn to see if you can beat the crew. No spoilers here, so press play on the video above and test your knowledge along with them.
1) For decades after its 1972 release, fans have speculated about who Carly Simon was really singing about in her hit "You're So Vain." Which celebrity did she finally confirm in 2015 that the song's second verse was written about?
A) James Taylor
B) Mick Jagger
C) Warren Beatty
2) One of the most iconic songs of 1970 was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's recording of "Woodstock," inspired by the legendary 1969 music festival. Which female songwriter wrote the song based on televised reports and secondhand stories, despite not attending the festival herself?
A) Janis Joplin
B) Joan Baez
C) Joni Mitchell
Think you know your classic rock trivia better than the crew? Watch the full segment above to see who got it right and who struck out.

Nearly a year after wildfires tore through Mountain Center, the scars are still visible along the Palms to Pines Highway. Now, fire crews are working to repair those burn areas and reduce the risk of flooding, erosion and mudslides when heavy rain arrives. The work includes fire-line suppression repairs, water bars and other measures designed to slow rainwater and keep burned soil from washing away. CAL FIRE Riverside County Battalion Chief Ryan Lubin says the steep terrain, dry brush and limited access continue to create challenges for mountain communities. With El Niño conditions expected to bring periods of heavy rain, officials say preparing now could help protect homes and communities from the aftermath of wildfire. The message from firefighters: preparation can save lives.
