Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORRECTIONS / UPDATES / CHANGES Slapstick is not playing next Friday at the Elmhurst VFW Hall. ANDY RECOMMENDS Friday: Go to the Rocktober Magazine release party at Empty Bottle. Jake Austen is king of rock. Failing that, see Cheer-Accident at Lounge Ax. Saturday: I'll be seeing Gordon Lightfoot, but if I weren't, I'd be seein' the Goblins at Fireside. Again, Jake Austen is king of rock. In either case, I'd be studiously avoiding Ms. Morrissette. Sunday: Ten Foot Pole / Greenhouse, no doubt. GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS The correct answer is "The Cover of the Rolling Stone", by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. You guys were 16-2 this week. The random winner is Eriq Jaffe. Best entry is from Amy Arnesen: We keep getting richer but we can't get out picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. From conceptionm my hippie mom played Dr. Hook records for me brother and I. To this day we can still sing all the words to Freakers Ball. "red ones, white ones, yellow ones, black ones, necrophiliacs looking for dead one, the greatestof the sadist and the masakist too screaming please whip me and whip you............ smear my body up with butter and take me to the Freakers Ball!!!"

Your job is to figure out what it is, and make an entry. * Entries must be mailed to <shows@tezcat.com>, and should contain the word "GUESS" at the beginning of the subject line. Your guess must include both title of the song, as well as artist/band. If it's a literary reference, it should contain the title of the work, as well as the author's name. * There are two ways you can win: Best Entry and Random Correctness. * Best Entry: The best entry to be submitted will win. It could be the funniest, or the most knowledgeable, or whatever. It's up to you. My decision will be entirely subjective. Your entry must still contain a guess, and I'll weight heavily in favor of those who get it right. If you win Best Entry, I'll reproduce your entry in next week's list, so don't put anything in there you don't want published. ("This is one of my favorite songs! I last heard it while cheating on my wife...") * Random Correctness: I will randomly select an entry from all those with correct answers. * Only one entry may be made per week. Deadline for entry is whenever I mail out the next week's list. * It is possible that no prize will be awarded for a category. If there are no correct answers, then the Random Correctness category will have no winner. If I don't think any entries should win Best Entry, then they won't. * The prize will always be a genuine Shows List Dollar, mailed by US Mail. It is the winner's responsibility to check the next week's list and claim the prize. If you don't claim it, I don't mail it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
