[Answer] Joan Jett rose to fame as the frontwoman of which all-female rock band?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Joan Jett rose to fame as the frontwoman of which all-female rock band?"



...Before launching her successful solo career with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Joan Jett first gained fame as a founding member and rhythm guitarist of The Runaways in the mid-1970s. The Runaways were one of the first all-female rock bands to achieve mainstream attention, known for songs like “Cherry Bomb” and their rebellious image.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which original marshmallow shape from Lucky Charms is still included in the cereal today?"



...When Lucky Charms debuted in 1964, it featured just four marshmallow shapes: pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers. Over the decades, the cereal has introduced—and retired—many additional shapes, including blue diamonds, purple horseshoes, and even more themed marshmallows tied to promotions and limited-time releases. However, among the original lineup, only the pink heart has remained continuously in the cereal since its launch, making it the sole surviving original marshmallow shape.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which band sued Nike after they used the song "Revolution" in one of their commercials?"



...In 1987, the Beatles filed a $15-million lawsuit to halt the use of the band’s 1968 recording of “Revolution” in a Nike running shoes TV commercial. Declaring that the rock group doesn’t “endorse or peddle sneakers or panty hose," the three surviving Beatles filed the lawsuit objecting to Nike's use of the song, claiming that the band hadn’t given their “authorization or permission.” Nike stopped running the ads early in 1988, and the “Revolution” lawsuit was settled out-of-court the next year on terms that have been kept secret since.

[Answer] For nearly 75 years, beer was banned in which country until the prohibition was lifted in 1989?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "For nearly 75 years, beer was banned in which country until the prohibition was lifted in 1989?"



...If you wanted to drink beer in Iceland between 1915 and 1989, you’d have to break the law to do so. The alcoholic beverage was banned in the small Nordic country for nearly 75 years. The ban followed a 1908 referendum that received 60% of the vote, indicating most of the country was initially in favor of prohibition. While most alcoholic beverages were gradually legalized over the following decades, beer remained outlawed. The beer ban ended on March 1, 1989, a date that has been celebrated as Bjórdagur (“Beer Day”) ever since.
