And I'll throw out another guess for X - that great movie, Xanadu...

I wish I would have thought of that. In an effort not to use another Rush tune, I could have come up with a long-winded clue that led to a movie of the same name.:) Unfortunately, I did not. Guess again.

(By the way, would you mind posting a personal review of that great movie, Xanadu?)

so...
 
did the combination of my apathy, lack of time, and Jim's deductive skill conspire to forge a tie in the standings?

I would look and calculate but I have to go....

check back in several hours.

Weather Report was correct. Sorry if I missed that.

As for X, "Owner Of a Lonely Heart" is in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Ron Howard wrote, directed, and starred in a film called Grand Theft Auto back in 1977. Roger Corman produced that and a film called "X" aka "X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes."

Whew.

Careful Rick....you could be on a slippery slope there. :D

dinosaur 02-08-2005 12:49 PM

More clues for Y.
 
Y.) Future visions - alone... (song title, but album is also part of the clue).
The song title begins with a Y.
If the name of the band is included , perhaps the clue should be 'Future vision trip - alone...'

moses 02-08-2005 02:51 PM

Gotcha!
 
Y = Journey - "You're On Your Own" from Look Into the Future.

Wild Guess... K= Kino?
