Once again, I didn’t see this episode, but, wasn’t my fault this time. There was an obscure gridiron football game on the main channel, and the second channel had specials for MLK Day. I did email the station, but didn’t get a reply. I am quite fortunate to have VJ’s typically excellent summary.
One thing I was thinking, though, is Long REALLY front-loaded this two day affair.
I got FJ, by thinking of it “Jeopardy style” – a very well acclaimed stage actor of color, playing a murderous character, who else could it be? Otherwise, only 2/3 on DDs. Didn’t know the February birthstone. About 40% on TS.
I HOPE the next tourney is Champion’s Wildcard. Please PLEASE PLEEUZZ, let these second chancers go!
Holy Will Shakespeare, I lucked into the FJ answer, moor or less.. I knew or thought I knew Robeson had done “Porgy and Bess,” but also knew he’d done Shakespeare. Tossed around Hamlet and Macbeth but decided on the right guy, even though I’ve never seen or read that play.
I thought all DDs were easy, and was shocked Roy missed the rodent. Would have been a different game had he been right, although it likely still would have been a runaway for Long.
The “Best of My Love” group was probably a gimme for those who were young music fans in the 70s. Living in Portland, I certainly knew the bookstore. One of the largest in the country.
I see what you did there!
I knew someone would!
That was a tough final as we begin the week with a triple stumper.
Well, VJ, I’m not so sure Othello was an honorable character either. Hearing Robeson sing Old Man River practically changed my life. I still get chills. Thanks for the additional background on the man. You always find something interesting to add.and it’s appreciated!
My first thought on this FJ! was Emperor Jones but I saw that film and he certainly wasn’t an honorable character!!
Another song Robeson was famous for was “Trees”, Joyce Kilmer’s poem set to music. Gawd, I liked the poem until they made us sing that song all the time in 5th grade!!
Congratulations to Long for becoming our Second Chance Champion. The Champions Wildcard begins tomorrow.
