                              If there's a new
                             Chicago Shows List
                          I'll be the first in line

 UPDATES
 -------
 The 1/29 Jamiroquai show has been moved from Metro to the Riviera.
 Additional tickets will go on sale Saturday at noon.
 
 
 GUESS THE REFERENCE
 -------------------
 I guess I'm not the only rock opera geek here; 19 out of 21 guesses got the
 lines from "Jesus Christ Superstar".  They're included in both "The Last
 Supper" and "Superstar".  Random winner is "Bob Hays, Computer Geek".
 
 Rules recap: The first few lines in the heading of the List are a
 reference to a song.  Mail your guess of song title and band to
 shows@tezcat.com.  Put your guess in the Subject field.  A random correct
 entry and the best entry of the week (if any) each win a fabulous Shows
 List Dollar.

 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.
