                           The Chicago Shows List

 CORRECTIONS / UPDATES / CHANGES
     The Bollweevils / Greenhouse / Riff Raff show at Channing-Murray is
     actually just Greenhouse / Riff Raff at the Illini Union.  The date is
     still right, April 5th.
 
     One thousand additional Red Hot Chili Peppers tickets go on sale
     Friday at 10am.
 
 BRAINIAC AT FIRESIDE
     The Brainiac show on April 24th at Fireside could be on the 25th.
     Brian doesn't know yet.  I've listed only the 24th.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
     Last week's winner is Andy Hocker:
 
         I believe the line is from "Three Lock Box" by Sammy Hagar. I AM
         REALLY REALLY ASHAMED THAT I KNOW THIS.
 
     Don't be ashamed!  Cheesy 80s metal is a fine thing to know.  Please
     mail me your USmail address so I can get your prize to you.
 
     Runner-up is Michael Krolnik:
 
         Andy, Andy, Andy
     
         Sammy Hagar - Three Lock Box
     
         Come on, man.  Anyone who went through puberty in the 80's has
         air-gutared to that one.
 
     There were 13 guesses correct out of 17.  Incorrect guesses included
     AC/DC (twice), Ted Nugent, and Run DMC.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK
     A genuine Shows List Dollar to the *best* response from someone to
     correctly identify (title and artist) the lyrical reference at the top
     of the list.  Being first doesn't win anything, so all you dorks
     sitting up at 2am on Friday don't get an edge here.  It's a gimme this
     week, so make your responses count.  Deadline for entry:  by the time I
     send out the next list.  Please put "GUESS:" at the start of your
     subject line to make it easier to sort my mail.
