 CORRECTIONS
     The Warped Tour at the Rave in Milwaukee is July 19th, not 18th.  Also,
     last week's list only listed one of the two stages.
 
     Sting / Lyle Lovett at the World Music Theater is 7/30, not 7/27.

 GUESS THE REFERENCE: WINNERS
     Last week's bit of classic 70s pap was "Long Tall Glasses" by Leo
     Sayer.  Four people knew the song, but only two got the title right.
 
     Random winner is Joan Jacobson.  Best entry was from Eric Coleman:
 
         This takes me back the the days of my childhood when I used to use
         a certain english singer-songwriter to get laid ... my then
         girlfriend went into a frenzy whenever a certain song off his first
         album was on my stereo ... it would get extremely embarrassing when
         my roommate was home ... and then this guy suddenly had a big hit
         single ... and the whole world knew about him ... not only did I
         have to share this great discovery ... but she decided to share ...
         ahem ... other things with a larger part of the world ... so we
         split up ... she went on through this experimental phase .. quit
         suddenly and married this guy ... had about 8 kids ... gained about
         175 lbs ... became an employee of the IRS ... I barely escaped this
         fate worse than death ... and I have Long Tall Glasses by Leo Sayer
         for that ... thanks Leo ... you saved my life ... pity that most of
         your music sucks so severely ... course then again so did she ...

 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.
