CORRECTIONS
Boris The Sprinkler at Beckman's is the 21st, not the 26th.
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS IN-STORE APPEARANC
Stone Temple Pilots will be at Rolling Stones Records on April 29th at
3:00pm. To get in, you have to have a wristband. The 1250 wristbands
will be distributed (at the store, I assume) on April 26th at noon.
The wristband only guarantees you a place in line, but not necessarily
that you'll meet the band.
GUESS THE REFERENCE -- LAST WEEK'S WINNERS
I didn't realize this last entry would have been so misleading. The
lines were "I'm made of metal / My circuits gleam / I am perpetual / I
keep the country clean." It's from "Electric Eye" by Judas Priest,
from Screaming For Vengeance . Thirteen people got it right.
The most common incorrect answer, with six, was "Mr. Roboto" by Styx,
which would have been more along the lines of "My heart is human / My
blood is boiling / My brain IBM". Second most common was "Digital Man"
by Rush.
Best Entry: Kevin Schramer
Hey Andy...You are "The Hellion"...with an "Electric Eye" on the
Chicago music scene. You are "Riding on the Wind" with a
"Bloodstone" around your neck...screaming "Take These Chains."
I'm sure putting together this list gives you "Pain and Pleasure",
but in the end you'll be "Screaming for Vengeance."
"You've got Another thing Comin'", if you think I'll enter this
contest again...I'd rather have a "Fever."
Bye for now I've got to tend the "Devil's Child."
If Kevin's entry doesn't highlight his writing skills, at least we know
he has a copy of the album.
Random winner: Jason Pugh

RULES FOR GUESS THE REFERENCE:
At the top of the Chicago Shows List each week, a lyrical/literary
reference appears. Your job is to figure out what it is, and make an entry.
* Entries must be mailed to <shows@tezcat.com>, and should contain the
word "GUESS" at the beginning of the subject line. Your guess must
include both title of the song, as well as artist/band. If it's a
literary reference, it should contain the title of the work, as well as
the author's name.
* There are two ways you can win: Best Entry and Random Correctness.
* Best Entry: The best entry to be submitted will win. It could be
the funniest, or the most knowledgeable, or whatever. It's up to
you. My decision will be entirely subjective. Your entry must
still contain a guess, and I'll weight heavily in favor of those
who get it right.
If you win Best Entry, I'll reproduce your entry in next week's
list, so don't put anything in there you don't want published.
("This is one of my favorite songs! I last heard it while cheating
on my wife...")
* Random Correctness: I will randomly select an entry from all those
with correct answers.
* Only one entry may be made per week. Deadline for entry is whenever I
mail out the next week's list.
* It is possible that no prize will be awarded for a category. If there
are no correct answers, then the Random Correctness category will have
no winner. If I don't think any entries should win Best Entry, then
they won't.
* The prize will always be a genuine Shows List Dollar, mailed by US
Mail. It is the winner's responsibility to check the next week's list
and claim the prize. If you don't claim it, I don't mail it.
