GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #420 (GOLQ420)
Happy New Year to all! Welcome to the January edition of the quiz.
In addition to the expected R.I.P. theme, there's an additional minor theme
involving about a third of the regular songs.
As they say on infomercials, "But wait ... there's more!" Another of
Bob Bluestein's fun puzzles can be found at the end of the quiz.
Enjoy!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #420
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me what I've done wrong
Why should he hold you tight
While they're playing our song?
#01)
Time will bring the fire and flame
Surely as it brought the rains
But in the gardens of the moon
Time is held within the silver spoon
#02)
I know you've grown familiar to her touch
But she's still a stranger
Don't give up the sweetness we shared
Baby (baby, baby) you're heading for danger (danger, danger)
#03)
Life is never what it seems
We're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind
It's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care
#04)
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too (love me too)
The way you used to do (used to do)
#05)
Get somebody else and you'll do fine
Cast your tears into the sea
Don't waste those big tears on me
#06)
I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
#07)
Oh, why didn't I try telling her
She was all I had?
Why didn't I try telling her?
Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad
#08)
He didn't do his homework
He never passed a test
Lunch was the class
That he loved the best
#09)
When she got the letter from her soldier boy
His words of love made her heart beat fast
But little did she know it would be the last
#10)
Walks in the rain
Warm summer nights
Remember the kisses
And not just the fight
#11)
The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
#12)
If you want my kisses, baby
Ah, you better want them all the time
'Cause from now on you'll kiss no lips but mine
'Cause all your cheatin' days are through
Can't take no more, I'm telling you
#13)
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
#14)
Play the drum a little louder
Tell me I can't live without her
#15)
I worked like a slave for years
Sweat so hard just to end my fears
Not to end my life a poor man
But by now, I know I should have run
#16)
Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Now, you could spare a kiss or two
And still have plenty left
#17)
A chick came walkin' through the door
That I had never seen before
#18)
Just like push can turn to shove
Like can turn to love
And it's my philosophy
#19)
You say you'll always be needin' me
Well, I'm gonna see that you do, baby
I'll be somebody, somethin'
#20)
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold onto me
#21)
Quit beatin' your chest
And actin' like you're gonna bite a big hole outta me
Quit messin' and testin'
'Cause this ain't at all impressin' to me
#22)
I'm not from royalty
I'm an ordinary guy
From a little family
And the riches pass us by
#23)
No matter what you say
He won't come runnin' back to your arms
It's all over, baby
#24)
Yeah! I admit you got the biggest brown eyes
And you know how to part your lips to tantalize, sure
Yeah! You can get any man you want goin'
And you do it, and don't say you don't know you do it
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
#T1)
Well, I wonder, I wonder
Could it be my Ma?
Callin' me so loud and clear
From the house so far
#T2)

Submission of an entry for this section is optional. Your participation
or performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking.
Please note that the grid and clue answers below have been designed to
be printed using a fixed-width font such as Courier.
This puzzle's theme is
WOODSTOCK: AN AQUARIAN EXPOSITION
3 DAYS OF PEACE AND MUSIC
The puzzle is an acrostic. It contains a grid followed by 18 clues
(labelled A to R) whose answers' letters are used to fill the grid's
boxes. Following the clues is the Clue Answers section, containing 18
lines with slots in which to put the answers' letters. Each clue's
answer consists of one or two words. The number under a slot indicates
where its letter should be placed in the grid. Numbers start at -9
instead of +1 purely as a way of avoiding some 100+ (i.e. 3-digit)
numbers. Note that spacing between letters and words in the answer
lines is irregular (for your inconvenience!).
When completed, the grid will reveal a quote.
The letters of one column of the solved grid will rearrange to spell the
artist who was sent onstage to take the slot of The Incredible String
Band, who refused to perform during a rainstorm. The letters of another
column will rearrange to spell the band who canceled at the last moment,
because according to band member Robby Krieger, they thought it would be
a second class repeat of the Monterey Pop Festival.
The letters of one column of the completed Clue Answers section will
reveal the last name of a person who was originally slated to perform
at Woodstock, but canceled in favor of a television appearance. A second
column will reveal the last name of an associated person who did perform
at the festival. A third column will disclose where "we've got to get
ourselves".
Comments on Woodstock ranged from Richie Havens' appraisal that
"Though it's frequently portrayed as this crazy, unbridled festival of
rain-soaked, stoned hippies dancing in the mud, Woodstock was obviously
much more than that" to Grace Slick's proclamation that "Half a million
people doesn't necessarily mean something is good ... it just means it's
big." And while Edgar Winter enthused, "Looking out over the hundreds of
thousands of people, the sea of humanity ... touched me in a way that
I'll never forget", brother Johnny stated that "It was just another
festival."
Dairy farmer and land owner Max Yasgur lauded Woodstock as "three days
of peace and music ... and nothing but peace and music". Well, perhaps
not quite "nothing but": As Roger Daltrey explained, "Even the ice cubes
had been [spiked]. I was fine right up until the moment I decided to
have a cup of tea. That's how they got me. A nice cup of hallucinogenic
tea." And Carlos Santana declared, "After you play Woodstock on acid,
nothing's a big deal anymore."
It was Jerry Garcia who had shared some of his mescaline with Santana,
a fact which may shed some light on this claim by Garcia:

flautist "didn't like hippies": __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
2) Boston area band that performed "They Live The Life": __ __ __ __ __
3) Last name of the guitarist who ended Woodstock with his rendition
