Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO/METLCA and Phil PLBAAB. Sean wasn't here this week.

My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/8...my two boards win.
...........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/8...I guess twice and am right and Rob gets me one other.
OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...1st/8...I go 7 for 9 and win the round with my two boards.
..........LITBOX...12000/14000...1st/8...I miss the question about music manuscripts in Poland belong to 
Mozart and Paul McCartney getting an award from Yale where I guessed Harvard.  One straight guess 
right though with Chris Cagle arrested for domestic abuse.  
Jukebox...ROCKET...17190/20000...1st/8...CHATZ wins round.
...........LITBOX...17190/20000...1st/8...Thought I'd read that Jon Bon Jovi's Arena Football League team 
was close to home...Yep.
Triviaoke...ROCKET...23621/28000...1st/8...my two win round.
...........LITBOX...23621/28000...1st/8...I take one -250 score this round on the Elton John song--a part 
of Philadelphia Freedom that I didn't know.

Now the Encore answers come up. Hard rocking guys. Poison, Ratt?...Yep!, Motley Crue, solo star, KISS. However could be anything.

Encore Question:...Which rocker was the leader of a punk group called "Generation X"?

OK I know this. I knew the link between that group although I didn't hear their music and William Broad. Rob says the answer first. Hey he was the answer to the Encore a few weeks ago! The Wedding Singer one. [Three weeks ago actually]. [In my music book from his two line biography they list both of those facts of the Encore answers].

Correct Answer:....4. Billy Idol

[NTN Extra Fact:...Idol was part of the group from 1977 to 1981. He had his first solo hit in 1982.]

I'm right and win as LITBOX and ROCKET at 35431. I finish 2nd on the Network Top 20 for all North America. The bar is 6th in NA with a 32709 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 16000. I finish 8th on this bar's Hall of Fame.
