NTN Encore Question of June 28th, 2008.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Answers:
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.
(ntn.com left The Frog & Firkin as 6th out of 1873 bars)
