Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT WEEK'S LIST ---------------- Since next Thursday is July 4th, I don't know if or when there will be a Shows List. If there is, good. If not, it'll be back the week after. CORRECTIONS & UPDATES --------------------- Neurosis at Chicago Filmmakers is August 22nd, not 23rd. All shows at both the Bog Theater and Elmhurst VFW Hall have been canceled. Tom Scholz injured his hand, so the entire Boston tour is canceled. The blurb I read in the paper implied that Cheap Trick would continue with the tour, with someone else taking Boston's place. WHAT'S IN ROCKFORD? ------------------- You guys came through for me with things in Milwaukee. I'm going to be headed out through Rockford this weekend (NOT to Lollapasnooza) on my way to Freeport, and would appreciate any notes on things on the way. HELL DEFINED ------------ Spin Doctors are playing the Cubby Bear. Next time I get some wiseass who tells me "You only list shows you like", I can just show him this week's List. I can't imagine a worse time. GUESS THE REFERENCE: WINNERS ---------------------------- I figured last week's reference was too tough, that I'd found one that nobody would get. Usually, I'll have an entry or two just a few hours after the List has gone out. This week, none showed up until Sunday morning, and most were on Monday or Tuesday. Five people answered correctly that it was "4:37 (Arabs With Knives & West German Skies)" from Roger Waters' The Pros & Cons Of Hitchhiking . I figure that entrants had to go home from work, dig out the album, get the name of the song, and wait 'til Monday to send me mail about it. Best entry was from Craig Darrah: Pros and Cons of Andy's Shows list: Pro- Updated weekly Con- Updated weakly [oh? -- Andy] Pro- Guess the reference contest RULES Con- To many guess the reference contest rules Pro- Obscure reference fun to figure out Con- Tough to figure out the exact name of the song from a Roger Waters album (Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking) when you can't find the stupid disc but it's roger waters so the song titles don't matter anyway, besides, you think they're just times during the night or something, so you wonder if your guess will be good enough with just the name of the album and you pat yourself on the back for thinking of the clever reference but know that many others will figure it out, but if not...where's that disc!!? Pro- Shows list more fun than working Con- Here comes my boss. The random winner is Chris Lewis. Winners, send your snail mail address to me at shows@tezcat.com.
