She's been doing the media rounds in recent days for the re-release of her memoirs. I think the tweeter misread one of the articles.

Far more oomph. This one's a snore.

I just corrected the score in my post

Removed it from mine

Only acceptable use of that song:

Having a stage name like "Angry" and putting out a song that lame is pure malpractice.

Gary Haisman - We Call It Acieed 05 Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It’s True -6 I skipped the 88-89 round last time since my interest in 80s music nosedives so much in the last two years. At least if a 50s song is really boring it's over before you know it. Bad late 80s songs are boring and last forever. Let's see if I can bring myself to slog through the unfamiliar songs this time...

50s instrumentals probably have the closest floor-to-ceiling for any type of music, ie it'd be hard for me to get upset at incidentally hearing them in a restaurant, but very few would go beyond background noise.

You were correct. I mistakenly never adjusted the points value of your survivors after Stafford. That has been fixed and the scoreboard above is updated.
