I scored 27/30 – can you beat me?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
29/30. I missed Harrison Ford. Once I narrowed it down, there were times when an obvious name would rhyme or it would have to a woman’s name or whatever.

I got Ford wrong too. I expect some of our Canadian brethen will get that one too.

Doing a happy dance with my 30/30 score. I’m glad I work alone. Otherwise I would be getting some quizzical stares right now. That was a challenge and lots of fun, covering a wide array of artists. Oh, I had 3:38 left on the clock, in case you’re looking for tie-breakers.

Was pretty tough, I think. Let’s see if anyone else makes it to 30.

I’ll take my 25/30. Can’t get too upset that I don’t know the lyrics to a Shania Twain song. 🙂

That Brad Pitt line from Twain is pretty memorable. I didn’t really like her at the time, but she’s surprisingly influential on modern pop.

30 for me – a couple of guesses based on rhyme and a little luck. The idea of ‘Ezra Pound and T S Eliot fighting in the captain’s tower’ still makes me wonder if Mr Zimmerman like to get small
