music trivia
What singer was apparently slated to portray the T-1000 in "Terminator 2" but had to be replaced after a motorcycle crash? Bonus points: Name the song he wrote about the incident 31 years later.

One died in 1971 in a motorcycle crash

winner!
Idol released "Bitter Taste" in 2021 after writing it during the pandemic. "For me personally, you have to let things marinate, and you never know how long that gestation period is going to last," he explained to American Songwriter. The motorcycle accident is something I had 30 years to marinate and think about."

Billy Joel had a bad motorcycle accident but he wouldn't be intimidating
as a terminator.
