Thanks Iggy, that was the most fun I've had all day.

As I recall, didn't you get to see the lads from Liverpool once upon a time?

I'm still smarting over missing McCartney last year in SLC.

[Soulsearcher]

I'm no where near a baby boomer and i knew most of them......no wonder my friends call me old man

I only saw them on TV - I was just a baby then- in my early teens. I thought they were horrible! I didnt like them until the song, " Hey Jude".

[Iggy]

Post your answers then.

[pam]

Well Flavious, I see one you missed. :)

Blasphemy I say

Sorry I got you mixed up with someone else.

[Iggy]

Pam, you missed one- so you have a score of 19

FlaviusHambonius, you missed two (you are correct on #16 though)- your score is 18.

I double checked yours Falvius, you only got one wrong- 11. is not Who says, "Trust me".. Your score is tied with Pam, at 19

Edited March 1, 2011 by Iggy

[Soulsearcher]

Post your answers then.

LOL nope, I'm in denial. I'm pretending this thread doesn't exist

[pam]

Now darn..to figure out which one I missed.

[FlaviusHambonius]

Well Flavious, I see one you missed. :)

Please tell me it's not #16 -- unless Iggy pulls a fast one on me and removes Ringo's name and inserts Pete Best

[pam]

haha no...you didn't miss that one.

[Iggy]

LOL nope, I'm in denial. I'm pretending this thread doesn't exist

Oh for goodness sake, post your answers already.

Don't be such a baby. (Hmmm, thought there was a smilies that was in diapers- drats!)

[FlaviusHambonius]

Pam, you missed one- so you have a score of 19

FlaviusHambonius, you missed two (you are correct on #16 though)- your score is 18.

Oh Man, a Roman beat by a cookie -- they ain't gonna like this on the homefront

Plus my other exuse is that I was on the tail end of the baby boom

[pam]

I can be one smart cookie at times. Not always but I have my moments.

[pam]

Okay Iggy, I want to know what number I missed. I still can't figure it out.

[pam]

I think it might be the Bob Dylan one.

[Iggy]

Oh Man, a Roman beat by a cookie -- they ain't gonna like this on the homefront

That last excuse won't work either, I, also am on the tail end of the boom and I got them ALL CORRECT.

[Iggy]

I think it might be the Bob Dylan one.

Nope, you got that one correct.

[pam]

Nope, you got that one correct.

Dang it..then which one?

[slamjet]

Dang it..then which one?

Are you saying that Pam is not the all-knowing, all-seeing head moderator! My faith is being SHAKEN!!!

[pam]

I'm sure it's a mistake.

[slamjet]

It just has to be. Or I will forever start seeing you as just another human.
