With only one point left, JamForte is the winner. While we're waiting for Jam to come up with a quiz, here's some clues for the remaining clue and the not needed tiebreaker:

for the Moby Dick clue, I could substitute: Beatles - Back In The USSR, and the answer is the same.

for the tiebreaker, the author is a male from the US, still writing. The first clue contains a word in common with one of his titles; the second clue you may need to look at the album to get the clue pointing to a different tile; and the third and fourth clues each contain one word from a third title.

that should make it fairly easy...

Tom Robbins

Godspeed's Static is from Life Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, = Skinny Legs and All

Curlew and Kate Bush = Still Life with Woodpecker

Yanni = Another Roadside Attraction

Well, I was thinking the USS from USSR is a reference to the boat, but the boat's name is the Pequod...

No idea.

Re: Re: Make Sure You READ This
 

bingo!

Re: Re: Re: Make Sure You READ This
 

maybe I can make it more obvious.

Beatles - Dear Prudence
Beatles - Back In The USSR
Beatles - Revolution 9
Beatles - Happiness Is A Warm Gun

all would be the exact same clue. this clue is in reference to Moby Dick, in addition to "DICK" and "WHALE"

:D

oh yeah, before this quiz morphed into a literary exercise, I was thinking Hollywood. So, just for giggles, while we're waiting for Jam, who is suggested by the following grouping of songs?

Jon and Vangelis - Italian Song
Gordon Giltrap - Awakening
Moody Blues - The Actor

Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood
Ambrosia - Cowboy Star
Castanarc - Journey To The East

Trace - Penny
Steve Adams - Tapped
Poor Genetic Material - Shooting Psycho

As you can see, since I read more than I watch TV/movies, I was able to come up with more interesting questions with books.

prudence and all that...
 

They are all from the white album...

white? .. hm thought that was sharks...

white whale.. of course...

ah...

it will take me a few days - I need to think of a theme first..

Robert DeNiro
Clint Eastwood
Alfred Hitchcock?

Re: prudence and all that...
 

white whale is what I was thinking - we're looking forward to your question Jam...

exactly! For Hitchcock - the Trace song is from an album titled "Birds", and the Steve Adams is from the album "Vertigo"


thanks for playing, you've all been lovely contestants...
