That was my game guess. I really can’t think of any other 70’s song characters whose last name begins with C.

IQ1: According to Lynyrd Skynyrd, are you the finest picker to ever play the blues?
IQ2: Do you implore Heathcliff to come home in Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights?
IQ3: Did Simon & Garfunkle sing that you “were breaking my heart, you’re shaking my confidence daily?”

162

DQ: Is the artist still active?

163

…Santana? Billy Ocean? …not gettin’ much here…

IQs:

  1. Are you the girl the Phantom of the Opera’s all agog over?
  2. Did you assassinate Marat?
  3. Did you direct the first Harry Potter movie?

Thinking: is the song Reggae? What is the mystery guest’s relation to the singer? Is the song a ballad? Were there covers?

167

All good questions. Please ask the final earned DQ, somebody, in the next 24 hours.

I’ve been thinking on this for days. I give up.

171

I feel a :smack: moment coming, not that I think I have any right to answer anyway, since I didn’t ask any questions.

172

Hey, Johnny, you can have mine. And Welcome To The Game!

173

I doubt I’m any closer than you are at this point. :smiley:

174

I concede.

175

Anyone else…?

176

I think that’s everyone. SCAdian’s still on hiatus.

I remember the song well enough, but I get lost after the first stanza or two.
