Oh, absolutely! Can’t believe I forgot that one. Anything stage-related is a dead zone for me. I’m really not that bad at pop music, to be honest, but late 2000 is easily my worst time-frame.
Although music of the 40s and 50s would be rough too…
Hmm… NASCAR could be tough also, but I’m sort of compensating for the fact that more obscure categories tend to have easier answers. I know there have been NASCAR categories that I have run before - but never ballet or opera.
Fortunately years of Vacation Bible School paid off in one way - Bible categories are a joke.
