Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- I figured last week's "You can dress in pink and blue just like a child", from "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson, would be a gimme, and only 5 people got it. Best entry is from Robin Kiefer: I can remember fighting with classmate Ilene Bloom in 7th grade in Ms Drucker's art class over whether we would listen to "Only Time Will Tell" (ASIA) or "Stepping Out" (Joe Jackson was my choice). Asia's self-titled album and Jackson's Night And Day were both dominating the charts at the time. We were lucky to have an art teacher that was liberal enough to let us listen to the radio during class. The teacher was later arrested for quaalude possession. Random winner is Mark Freitas. Winners, mail me your snail mail addresses. 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.
