 SEX PISTOLS TOUR
     The Sex Pistols are going to tour this summer.  Matlock replaces Sid.
     Wake me when it's over.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
     Last week's answer was "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace (not the
     Bay City Rollers).  There were 10 correct answers, and 3 incorrect.
 
     Best entry was from Dave Panek who saves me the trouble of mentioning
     that Paper Lace did the first version of "Billy Don't Be A Hero", later
     a hit for Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.
 
     Random winner is Eric Ottens, making him the 2nd member of Greenhouse
     to win a Shows List Dollar.
 
     Winners, send me your US Mail address.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK
     Mail your entries in to shows@tezcat.com.  Please put "Guess" and your
     guess in the subject.  Remember that band name is part of the answer.

 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.
