  Yep - I figure it is harder, but again, there are normally clues in the questions, and each question/answer should give you an 'a-ha' moment, I hope:)
  
  I hope #3 does not bring down the though police:)

  Thanks for another challenging mental workout. I did better than last time, though. Got 5 out of the 11 Stage I questions. Did you intend there to be 11 questions in that stage?
  
  (I almost got 6, but can't quite take credit for question 2 because I couldn't recall the artist's name, only a certain other interesting fact about him.)
  
  I managed to get half of the Stage II questions, but my guess on the connecting theme was way, way off.
  
  One more minor note. If I recall correctly, the brother mentioned in question 9 was named "Lore". The question is certainly tougher the way it's currently written, though. I almost skipped it without even guessing.
  
  Fun stuff!

  That's a typo - I will change it to Lore. And the 11th q is another typo of numbering.
  
  I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you see the thread that connects the answers to the theme?

  Well, I can see the theme's connection to some of the answers, but not to all of them, probably because I lack certain necessary background information.
  
  For example, I still have no idea who William Ware "Mack" Brazel is, or how his story might connect to that theme, even though I now know which military base was closest to his ranch.
  
  Or maybe my problem is just not knowing enough about the theme itself, and perhaps that's where I need to do additional research.

  Ah, I see now. Not watching television left me ill-informed on the music videos and television shows.
  
  In future entries you could put the theme connection explanations into their own set of separate drop-down items, after the one that reveals the theme.

  Aaman,
  
  Thanks for dropping by at my site.
  
  Should shamelessly admit,my grey cells devoted to quizzing could muster only 3 of all the answers including the Connect ones.
  
  Questions surely have the A-ha feel to it as you have mentioned.
  
  Hope to see more of them.
  
  Would surely link up - Why dont you devote an entire blog to quizzing !!
