1. Shakespeare was my gut answer-turns out I was right.  His stuff is very hard to figure out without a good study guide.2. I got this one right.  I wonder why she didn't ATA?  I bet they would have known it.3. easy.
4. I own this CD, so I knew it (it also helps that I actually remember when these songs came out).
5. easy.
6. I knew this one, too. We get Toys "R" Us ads in the paper-they have a store here.
7. The name sounds Hawaiian, so I go with B.
8. easy for me. Carry Nation was famous for taking an axe and chopping up saloons.
