 UPDATES / CORRECTIONS
     Godhead Silo cancelled their Fireside show on 4/26.
 
     Crown Royals cancelled at Empty Bottle.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
     Mark me stupid for underestimating the popularity of Mission Of Burma.
     Last week's reference was to "Academy Fight Song".  There were 24
     correct guesses, plus 1 for "Fame and Fortune" by MoB, and 1 for
     Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades".
 
     Best entry: Mark Butler
 
         Boy, Andy, you quote one of the greatest punky-pop singles of all
         time and you think it's harder than Ace of Spades! Oy!
 
         Barring their music, the best thing about Mission of Burma was the
         fact that you get get infinite mileage out of the fact that Roger
         Miller played guitar.  Many gullible young punks to this date are
         tricked to believe that it was actually the "King of the Road" guy
         gone new wave.  A long standing tradition at the University of
         Kansas was to yell "Doo-wacka-doo" and "Dang Me" and "You Can't
         Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd" at MOB or Miller shows.  Well, we
         thought it was funny.
 
     Random winner: Michael Beatty.
 
     Winners, send me your US Mail address.
 
     A Shows List Dollar would go to Liz Clayton for pointing out that we
     went from "Ace Of Spades" last week, to Ace Of Hearts, the label that
     released "Academy Fight Song".  I'd like to say it was intentional, but
     it wasn't.  Liz is, of course, exempt from winning as she is a Shows
     List publisher emeritus.
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE -- THIS WEEK
     Your taunting grows every week.  "Boy, was that easy".  I expect that
     no one who guessed last week will have any guesses on this one.  It's
     an easy song, but not necessarily an easy line.
 
     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.

 There are many other shows lists available on the via email.  As far as I
 know, unless the address is "listproc" or "listserv", the list is run by a
 human, not an automated list-management program.

 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.
