What are these lists?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   The world is collapsing around our ears
                                 I turned to
                           The Chicago Shows List

 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.
