For purposes of the Question #6 Leaderboard, please write below a THREE-LETTER initialism you'd like me to use to track your entries. (You might choose your initials, but this is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - In Salman Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses, a character named Bilal X is a successful former pop singer who has converted to Islam; he is also a trusted lieutenant of the character based upon the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Bilal X is pretty clearly a reference to WHAT real-life singer-songwriter, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and who in 2020 released Tea for the Tillerman², a reimagining of his classic 1970 album?
