When I was planning this game I thought the last two started the same way, but there is a difference.
1. The legend lives on
2. I close my eyes
3. I remember the thirty-five
4. Well, it's eight o'clock
5. I have a mansion
6. She packed my bags
7. Was the third of
8. It was the third
Bonus: If it's eight o'clock in the city named in the first line of #4, what time is it in the city where the group that sang it got started?

1. The legend lives on - Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot
2. I close my eyes - Dust in the Wind - Kansas (Would not be surprised if this one doesn't lead off more songs)
3. I remember the thirty-five - My Old School - Steely Dan
4. Well, it's eight o'clock - What's Your Name - Lynyrd Skynyrd (Almost gave up on this one....)
5. I have a mansion - Life's Been Good To Me So Far - Joe Walsh
6. She packed my bags - I think the next line is something like "12:30 flight," but it's leading me nowhere....
7. Was the third of
8. It was the third - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Temptations (This got played enough at 6AM on Mecca Radio for me to be pretty sure "It" is there....)
Bonus: If it's eight o'clock in the city named in the first line of #4, what time is it in the city where the group that sang it got started? - Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
Well, crap! Now I gotta determine if Boise is in Mountain or Pacific time, and whether LS is from Alabammy or Florida. I think it's Mountain and Eastern, so I'll say 10 PM

If you got the last two reversed I still gave it to you.

If it's 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho, it's 10 o'clock in Jacksonville, Florida where Lynyrd Skynyrd started.
