What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
            When he told the proprietor he was looking for dogs,
                        the proprietor glanced at his
                             Chicago Shows List
              and said "What's wrong with the one you've got?"
                                      
                         Shows of note as of 9/19/96

 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.
