Today's surprise looks to be a featured artist and I think it will be a welcome relief after the last couple days of tough ones. I think on this one you got artist credit for identifying it as a solo song or a group song. I'm not sure why there's no bonus instrumental today, but I'm sure that you'll manage without it.


1. Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me

Ballad of John and Yoko...solo?

2. You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, you'll have to wait

Revolution (do I need #9?..) group

3. How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Nope

4. It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again

Nope

5. His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy

Rocky Raccoon...group?

6. Love is the answer
And you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it, you got to let it grow

Nope

7. Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me

Instant Karma, solo

8. But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

In My Life, group

9. Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on

Ack! Familiar!

10. Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-o
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind

Maxwell's Silver Hammer, group

11. Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

Back in the USSR, group

12. Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden Slumbers, group?

13. So let it out and let it in, * *, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, * *, you’ll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey, Jude, group

14. Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problems, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

Watching the Wheels? Solo, if so

15. The dream is over
Yesterday I was the dream weaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on

I forget what this is called. Solo

Bonus: Who was #13 above written for? And what was the inspiration?

Julian Lennon, inspired by his parents' divorce.

Super Bonus: What was the date that the artist featured above was murdered? 10 points, 5 for the Month/Day and 5 for the year. This one might be too difficult, I don’t know, but I remember exactly where I was when I heard this news, I suppose much like it was for my parents when JFK was shot, although that was much more of a shock and tragedy as far as our nation goes.
All I remember is January, and I was on the bus on my way to high school. I think. 1981?

Bonus: Who was #13 above written for? And what was the inspiration?

Paul wrote it for Julian when he was busted up over his parents' split.

Super Bonus: What was the date that the artist featured above was murdered? 10 points, 5 for the Month/Day and 5 for the year. This one might be too difficult, I don’t know, but I remember exactly where I was when I heard this news, I suppose much like it was for my parents when JFK was shot, although that was much more of a shock and tragedy as far as our nation goes.

The only reason I know this is because it's been featured on at least one Timeline and mentioned several other times on this bored. The mnemonic I use is that it's the day after the Day That Will Live in Infamy -- Dec. 8, 1980.
