Alan Rock's Trivia!

Questions:

1) What was the first Beatles song to reach #1 on the country charts?

2) What was the first network television western-themed program?

3) Which river is the longest river in the world?

Answers:

1) Rosanne Cash's cover of the Beatles' "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" charted number 1 on the country charts. The original hit #1 on the pop charts.

2) Hopalong Cassidy, starring William Boyd and Edgar Buchanan. The show debuted on this date in 1949.

3) The length of a river can be very difficult to calculate; as a result the lengths reported are ultimately only approximations. There is disagreement, for example, over whether the Nile or the Amazon is longer. The Nile is traditionally considered to be the longest but recent scholarship suggests the Amazon could be longer.
