Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. CONTACT INFORMATION Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>.
