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!!!"
If you don't know I suggest you give it a listen.
Gee, all my mom ever played was "West Side Story" and "Helen Reddy's
Greatest Hits."
As always, winners have to mail me their US Mail addresses to claim
their fabulous Shows List Dollars.

RULES FOR GUESS THE REFERENCE:
At the top of the Chicago Shows List each week, a lyrical/literary
reference appears. 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.
