Shows of note as of 9/19/96 All content copyright 1996 Andy Lester. Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES/CORRECTIONS ------------------- The Rev. Horton Heat show is moved from the Riv to the Park West. GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- The Shows List readership knows their odes to Onanism. Last week's reference to "I Touch Myself" by the DiVinyls was correctly pegged by 12 of you. Incorrect entries were also received guessing (I think) a Jethro Tull song of some kind, and former Shows List Dollar winner Dave Musicant went in entirely the wrong direction with: "That isn't 'Tomorrow' from the musical 'Annie', is it?" No really good entries this week, so no Best Entry prize. The random Shows List dollar goes to the lovely and talented Kari Winn. Kari, send me your address. This week's entry looks to be another stumper, but I could be wrong. Send your entries to shows@tezcat.com. Be sure to include your name in the entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name and song title. CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.
