Guy used to yell a lot and occasionally sang blues (I have a CD with him on it) In any case, it has to be wrong because there's supposed to be something in the clue that requires a letter change. #4: I'll watch Fox News for a while, and get back to you. I have the second word (I think) but can't exactly remember the guy's name. John, thanks for providing some fun! |
