Yes

that's why I gave you a half.

As stated, I'm aware that CA's not a continent.

My only regret is that I did not include any SA questions.

I didn't take away Keith's half cause of his "Pirates" conclusion.

So, the hard ones remain........

1.5 point swing......

I was looking for another location for the Supertramp, Zappa is correct. If the two you mentioned are close to 1,000 miles, I'll give you the two points. If not, you get 1/2.

On another question I was actually looking for Broadway instead of NYC, but of course they are in the same city.

half point maybe

For number 6, the King Crimson one could be New York City or (if you're sneaky) Providence.

Can't think of a Yes one that's 500 miles away. Caesar's Palace is pretty far away, and Siberia isn't even the right continent.

No, find out how far the tip of Montana is from Hollywood, then we'll go from there

It is NYC, but for "Thela Hun Gingeet". Good deductions on the other, keep at it....

good enough for two

Texas was the answer I was looking for.

I have:

Keith 6.5
VAX 5
Moses .5 (moving the decimal)

Left to go are #5, #10, and 1/2 of #6

Will check in a few hours, so there will be suspense! Keith is sleeping, but not well knowing that his lead is evaporating!

OOOHHHHHHHHH

too many group which mention too many places.

Supertramp from the UK, Breakfast In America seemed the most logical choice for N.A. Marillion (gain mentioning many places) and FZ were fairly easy for me.

It's got to be about 500 miles to Saginaw... of course likely longer if you hitchhiked.

You'd think I would know UK and Oldfield

London (Waterloo and Park Lane) from UK's Rendezvous - Scotland (Tons of Oldfield references to Scotland)

Rendezvous 6:02
(Jobson/Wetton)

It's 5 o'clock
driving sown Park Lane
and London
leaves
for the weekend again
through the dark city streets
in the clinging rain
I take my car
towards the Thames
and Waterloo.....

6:02 Waterloo


Was that a face I saw?
No, just a trick of light
It's getting clearer now
but moving out of sight
It's cold and late
and I can't miss that train

I turn around
walk through the arch
of Waterloo

I saw the same hooded face

He beckoned me from the gate
"Did you not know, my friend?
Ten years ago was the end
After the war
Waterloo was no more,
But your ticket states
There is one train
It's leaving now
And there is a place

Remember my face
and Waterloo....."

Yes! (Toledo)

One question to go (#10), it's VAX up a full point on Keith (but not a full pint).

Not quite

the Oldfield is close, and the UK is not what I was looking for. The distance is 750 miles between them, so Scotland and Waterloo do not fit.

I believe both songs are not on the Moon (when I checked before).

Keith, if you get this one, it's a tie! If VAX gets 1/2 he wins!

UK's Carrying No Cross references Germany, if that be it.

We have a winner!

VAX 7.5
Keith 6.5
Moses .5

The other 1/2 was Ireland (from "Orabidoo" on Five Miles Out).

Nice job everyone!

A question from VAXman awaits!
