    Somewhat surprised that 3 tournament-caliber players didn’t know FJ. I was 90% all-in on Shangri-La and 10% on Xanadu. (And the girl group the Shangri-las were from my part of NYC, Queens.)

    Stumpers way too tough for me, except for Carlin’s funny weatherman. “The forecast for tonight is dark. Continued dark overnight, turning light by morning.”

    • VJ says:

      The Shangri-las are one of the groups featured in my 60s Teenage Tragedy Song Craze article with “the trifecta of teen tragedy songs” — “Leader of the Pack”

      • Howard says:

        Thanks, I’ll read that now. I’m sure I know all of those tunes.
        Do you know “Leader of the Laundromat” by the Detergents? it was a silly takeoff on “Pack.”
        “I Can Never Go Home Anymore” was another tear-jerker from the Shangri-Las.

        • VJ says:

          Yes, Howard, “Leader of the Laundromat” was one of our silly favorites. “My folks were always putting her down (down down) because our laundry came back brown (brown brown)” 🤣🤣 Ron (“Sugar, Sugar”) Dante was one of the Detergents.

          I hope you enjoy the article.

    • Jason says:

      Yet again, I parallel Howard. For me, FJ was easy, even though I didn’t read the book. And, the TS mostly got me. I can’t even claim the George Carlin one.

      I have to admit, John’s Balkan knowledge was formidable!

      • VJ says:

        I only missed the $1200 Lake Bled clue in that Balkan category. The night before this match, my 7-year-old granddaughter and I were going over the Balkan countries. That kid loves geography and she asks me to do Worldle with her every evening!

  2. VJ says:

    I loved the George Carlin weatherman clue. I told Nikki that one was in there for us cool seniors. 🤣

    Last month, there was a Flip Wilson Show marathon on one of those channels devoted to classic TV shows. Carlin used to do that shtick on that show.

  3. Rick says:

    I didn’t come up with the correct response for FJ either, but there is always tomorrow.

  4. Louis says:

    Job well done John despite not getting the final. I think he will do great in the semi finals. Good players today

  5. Ismael Gomez says:

    And we got our second triple stumper this week as today’s final was a tough one.

  6. William Weyser says:

    Nice work, John.

  7. Richard Corliss says:

    And then there were 13.
