="AG/DC"]So, I'm sorry --- I shouldn't tell anybody if they're correct until the field has locked in their answers?

Well, until mine were locked in I meant, but if you want to extend the same courtesy to the field, well, I guess I don't have a huge problem with that. But hopefully everyone guesses soon because now that I've guessed I gots to know the answers.

[Guest AG/DC]

Let's let it fly until mid-day.

[metirish]

It is a great bit of fun, I expected more spanish music and really that slowed me up , I have Tom O'Malley as Elvis and you as Morrison. One of us must be right.

[Guest AG/DC]

Do you think somebody just answered "All salsa music --- I just hear that rhythm and I can dance all night!"?

I think he answered something like "Azucar Moreno y los Reyes Conquistadores; Pablo Valera; And also Los Tres Macheteros!" and the reporter wrote "All salsa music."

Maybe he said "All sorts of music"

[seawolf17]

It's tempting to put the black artists with the black guys, isn't it? And wouldn't it be great if Tim Teufel was the salsa music fan?

Very tempting and I think I did that.

[Centerfield]

Guilty. But anyone trying to make the best guess would do the same. The only one I'm sure of is Gregg Jefferies listening to Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson. It has to be true.

[Guest AG/DC]

"Cold Hearted Snake" was actually about Randy Myers.

You'd really want Carreon to be a fan of Boston.

[Guest AG/DC]

It strikes me that the American popular music was arching toward suckiness about the time the Mets were.

[Willets Point]

AG/DC wrote: You'd really want Carreon to be a fan of Boston.

I always thought of him as a fan of Kansas.

[Guest AG/DC]

Exactly.

(Duh.)

[HahnSolo]

I thought Sid was a Metalhead, so I guessed Eddie Van Halen for him.

Wow. Hitting .071.

[Willets Point]

You have a lot of free time to create big tables with lots of superfluous images. Just like Edgy used to do.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Does that mean that the incorrect answers are still in play, or is the contest closed?

[Guest AG/DC]

Closed contests are no fun. Still in play.

[metirish]

Shaping up to be a big day for the black irish.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm not Alex Trebek, but I say keep guessing from here on out.

I'm changing Boxcar Willie from Lyons to Sasser, and Elvis from Sasser to Lyons.

Darling I'm going to guess likes Chicago.

Gooden gets Patti LaBelle

Musselman gets the Cars
