1)While I am sure, Pete and/or Nick were thinking of a specific Website, I have found several:

http://www.gumtree.com/london/99/29911399.html

And I am sure there are several more, including the one that they were thinking of. Unfortunatly, I couldn't find it, So will just have to make do with what I could find.

2)Start - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Boys_of_Alabama
1 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama
2 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee
3 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee
4 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessed_Are...
5 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_After_Tomorrow_(album)
End - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Earle

Although I know that this is not exactly what Pete\Nick were looking for, but there you go. This is the only method I had for connecting the two. Blind Boys of Alabama, obviously from Alabama - Alabama boarders Tennessee - NashVille is in Tennessee - The Album 'Blessed Are...' was recorded in Nashville - The Album 'Day After Tomorrow' Put together by the same person as 'Blessed are...', Joan Baez - Steve Earle is featured on the album 'Day after tomorrow'.

I am going to guess that the real connection that I was supposed to find, was something to do with the fact that Steve Earle played a drug addict in 'The Wire' for most of season 2, and then for some of season 5.

3)Un-Able to make the connection, Did I miss something in class?

4)

From this and a few of the other short clips I have seen showing the character 'Omar', I can see that he is a very up-front person, someone that does not like to be told what to do. He's got a strong aura about him, instantly scaring the other characters in the scene. When he shot 'Savino' he did it with an atitude that says to the audience that he will have no remorse for what he does. And even with his leg, limping everywhere (Do not know all the story behind that, so probably don't understand it fully) he still manages to be the big strong, scary character. There seems to be allot of will power in his character.
