    Another killer FJ. I went with “Angels and Demons,” so at least I had the right author.

    Those of us who were fortunate to attend a Beatles concert know all too well who Mia Farrow’s sister is. They all were disciples of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and several of the songs from the White Album were composed at his retreat.

    • VJ says:

      Mia Farrow tells Letterman all about that in the video I linked to for that TS. I didn’t know that the sisters were already at the retreat before the Beatles got there.

  2. Rick says:

    Regarding FJ, I took a bad guess, and went with ‘Canterbury Tales’, but I knew that would never fly.

    Tough final as we got a triple stumper.

    • JP says:

      As always, no one knows about 14th century world literature.

      • Lou says:

        I thought literature was every one’s forte. I guess not. Still Eric played well today despite not getting the first daily double. Hope he can go on a streak.

      • Jason says:

        Now THAT’S funny.

        Since I didn’t get FJ, I was totally wrong. I said, “The Song of Roland”.

        Eric seemed unsure of a lot of his responses. Hope he does a little better. Still, a runaway is always good!

        And, def a good game. Competitors were competitive. No one seemed “totally outclassed”.
