Reuse without permission is strictly prohibited --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUESS THE REFERENCE: WINNERS Last week's reference was to "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna. Of the 26 correct entries, none seemed to have much put into them, so this week there's no Best Entry winner. The random winner is Dave Musicant. Dave, send me your US Mail address. Two separate people guessed "You've Got Another Thing Coming" by Judas Priest. They were probably thinking of the first verse that goes "One life I'm gonna live it up / I'm takin' flight I said I'll never get enough". I can kinda hear it, even. GUESS THE REFERENCE: THIS WEEK Mail your entries in to shows@tezcat.com. Please put "Guess" and your guess in the subject. Remember that band name is part of the answer. Also, make sure your name is somewhere in the entry. CONTACT INFORMATION Mail to <shows@tezcat.com>. For subscriptions, tell me where you found out about us, and whether you'd like date or venue order.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
