Tonight I'm playing as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO/ONJ and Phil PLBAAB.
Here's how my game went and my comments: Tune Up...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/10...our five and someone else win the round. .............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/10...no guessing required this week. The LineUp...ROCKET...12000/15000...4th/10...COSMO/ONJ and PLBAAB win round. ...........LITBOX...12000/15000...4th/10. I go 7 for 10 for an OK score. Rob gave me a right answer, pulled me off a right answer, and I ignored one of his choices. Triviaoke...ROCKET...20550/25000...3rd/10...ROCKET wins round...COSMO is in lead with 21440. ..........LITBOX...20530/25000...4th/10...I take only one -250 and answer every question this week. Opening Act...ROCKET...26050/35000...1st/10...my two boards won the round. ................LITBOX...26030/35000...2nd/10. The Pound key round. I must have got 5 right for 1000, 2 for +250, 0 for -250, and 3 I didn't answer. Headliner...ROCKET...38800/56250...1st/11. ............LITBOX...38780/56250...2nd/11. HOPES AND DREAMS:...1. Which US pop/punk act recorded the 2002 album 'The Young and The Hopeless'?--Good Charlotte...2. Dan Hartman had a hit single in 1984 with this dreamy tune:--I Can Dream About You...3. LeAnn Womack's 'I Hope You ________' is an easy listening radio staple:--Dance...4. Which group recorded an album titled 'Dream Police'--Cheap Trick...5. 'Somewhere Only We Know' is a track of this group's 'Hopes and Fears' album--Keane...6. What female rock singer had a 1980 hit album with 'Dreams'?--Grace Slick...7. High Hopes' is an award winning song from this 1959 movie:--A Hole In The Head...8. What group was dreaming out loud that its 2007 album 'Dreaming Out Loud' would be a hit:--Onerepublic...9. Which 'Who' song contained the (ironic) immortal line "Hope I die before I get old"?--My Generation... 10. In 2004 this artist released a four DVD set titled 'Dream Ticket':--Elton John
I went 8 for 10 in this round. Rob kept us going with the correct answers to '6' and '7' and I couldn't get '8' going with 3 Doors Down and '10' going with Tony Bennett. I should have zoomed in on the word 'DVD' and I would have remembered seeing this Elton John package in the store when it first came out.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual.

I pick something and don't change my answer but I'm not certain so the others split. Phil says he's heard this song so many times. I certainly have too but not in recent years as I don't listen to retro-rock stations anymore with their limited playlists. I think I remember Tyler singing saying 'pages' very early in the song so stay with that. Rob sounds convincing with 'hazed filled memories' thinking about the band member's bouts in rehabs over the years.
Correct Answer:....4. books' written pages
[NTN Extra Fact:...'Dream On' was the first single off Aerosmith's debut album.]
I'm right and win as ROCKET at 58200 points. I earn 3000+ points for meeting the s standard of 18000. I finish 2nd on the Top 20 board in North America. The bar is 15th in North America with a 38968 average. I finish 7th on this bar's Hall of Fame. (NTN kept our bar as 15th out of 2002 bars).
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank ROCKET 38800 4 58200 2 11 LITBOX 38780 4 58170 3 12 COSMO 38190 ? 19095 467 876 PLBAAB 38050 3 19025 469 882 ONJ 37990 ? 18995 470 885 CHATZ 28250 ? 14125 726 1368 MADDOG 26900 4 40350 55 136 BANANA 12190 - 12190 874 1737 WAGNER 10060 - 10600 1957 2384 SPIKE 8750 - 8750 2779 2883 JEREMY 3500 - 3500 6076 5725 (ntn.com listed 9283 players with 8320 having a positive score)
I'm stunned that my name shows up in 2nd on that Network Top 20. Shure I'm at least 12000 points behind that group in Michigan who went to another bar tonight. I thought there'd be many more people get the Encore without much struggle. If I could have got my friends behind me (my fault because I wasn't sure) the bar ranking would also be 2nd.
I congratulated Bill MADDOG for getting the Encore answer too. I thought he might have sang this song with all the bands he's been it or at least played bass for whoever did sing but he said no. He said he also stuck with the first answer that came into his head and didn't overanalysis.
