NTN Encore Question of July 21st, 2007.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.

Answers:

  1. Bob Dylan
  2. Barry White
  3. Ray Charles
  4. Blondie
  5. Miles Davis

Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO and METLCA and Phil PLBAAB at The Frog & Firkin.

My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/10...our five boards win.
..........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/10.
I was 2 for 2 in guessing this week.
OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...1st/10.  
..........LITBOX...12000/14000...1st/10.
I was 7 right and 2 wrong for this week which was alright.  Phil pulled me off a right answer but then the next 
question he got me one I didn't know so it worked out alright.  I had a long bus and subway ride to get here 
tonight as I came directly from a soccer game so I had time to study my Billboard magazine.
JukeBox...ROCKET...17865/20000...2nd/7...LITBOX wins round. 
...........LITBOX...17865/20000...1st/7.
We did good in this round.  Almost full marks for everything.
Triviaoke...ROCKET...22151/28000...2nd/8...not sure who won round.
.........LITBOX...22170/28000...1st/8.
I took two -250s this round and one for about 80 points.  Last week knowing the title of the Plain White T's 
song was good enough in OnBeat but this week they expected me to know the lyrics!  I've never heard 
the song but haven't had time to listen to music or watch videos in the last few months.

Now the Encore answers come up. Quite a variety here. It could be anything.

Encore Question:...Which performer has not yet been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame?

.

.

.

I don't know this but I know it's not Blondie because they were inducted recently and had an awkward moment onstage accepting their award as former members of the band in their glory years crowded up on stage. Rob thinks Ray Charles is definitely in there. I wouldn't think Miles Davis is a rock'n'roller but there are lots of 'early influences' that are chosen by the committee. I say it is Barry White and convince the others to choose that although I wasn't sure Phil picked that until the scores came up.

Correct Answer:....2. Barry White

[NTN Extra Fact:...He had 106 Gold Albums, 41 Platinum Albums, 20 Gold Singles, and 10 Platinum Singles].

Well certainly enough sales to get in. I wonder why he hasn't been inducted. Now it will be difficult because he's died a few years ago.

I'm right and win as LITBOX at 33255. I finish 19th on the Network Top 20 in all North America. The bar is 7th in North America with a 31739 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of either 20000. I finish 9th on this bar's Top 10 Hall of Fame (hey this week's theme...how appropriate).
[NTN.com kept us in 7th place out of 1941 bars].
