 CORRECTIONS / UPDATES / CHANGES
     *   Conflict has canceled their April 14 show at Fireside.
     *   The Dianogah show in Crystal Lake has been moved to May, but now
         with Dis- headlining.
     *   Kenny Wayne Shepherd is now at Metro, with Bottle Rockets opening.
 
 
 ANDY RECOMMENDS
     Friday: The big WHPK record release bash at Empty Bottle with two of my
         favorite bands, The Goblins and Galaxy Of Mailbox Whores.
 
     Saturday: Go see the ska show at the Reynolds Club in Hyde Park.  I'll
         be there passing out printed punk lists.
 
 FRED SCHNEIDER TO PLAY EMPTY BOTTLE
     Easily the wackiest lineup of the year, Fred Schneider of the B-52s
     will be playing Empty Bottle with a local all-star band: Rick
     Sims and Mark The Drummer from the Didjits, Tom Zaluckzyj of Tar,
     and Chris Fuller of Dis-.  See the Empty Bottle listing for details.
 
 TOO BEAUCOUP!  TOO BEAUCOUP!
     It's come to my attention that for you AOLers, and perhaps others, you
     don't get your List directly in mail, because it is usually bigger than
     your mail program (AOL, cc:Mail, whatever) can handle.  In the case of
     AOL, you have to download it to a separate directory and view it with
     Notepad or something.
 
     For those of you who do have this situation, is it a problem?  A pain?
     Would it be helpful if I could mail it out in two parts so that it
     wouldn't be so big?  (This applies to all of you, not the AOLers).  
     
     Let me know.  It probably wouldn't be too big of a deal to do.  Don't
     worry; I won't inflict that on those who don't want it.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
     The correct answer: Nirvana, "Serve The Servants".  Twenty correct
     answers, with one incomplete, and nobody wrong.
 
     Best entry: Robert John King
         How can the shows list pay off well with all these dollars you're
         mailing out?
 
     Random winner: Adam Peikin
 
     As always, winners have to send me their US Mail addresses.

 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.
