This was a quiz question on a software package that I use. The pic is not my answer, but one of colleagues who thought it funny enough to actually do the screen capture.

I had no idea who Rick Astley is and while I did not sleep more than 1/3 of the '80s, I also did not listen to music much since I spent most of my awake time flying 12 hour duty days (I know that was only 1/2 a day's work), and it turns out he is a musician. {One sentence, Faulkner would be proud}

Richard Paul "Rick" Astley (born 6 February 1966) is a BRIT Award-winning English singer-songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1987 hit single in 16 countries, "Never Gonna Give You Up". Astley holds the record for being the only male solo artist to have his first 8 singles reach the Top 10 in the UK[1] and has sold approximately 40 million records worldwide.[2][3]
After retiring from the music industry in 1993, Astley made a comeback in 2007 when he became an Internet phenomenon, as his video for "Never Gonna Give You Up" became part of a popular Internet meme known as "Rickrolling".[4] Astley was voted by Internet users "Best Act Ever" at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008.[5]
