ANSWERS
1. Elton John, in 1972.
Th e song didn’t do
well in the U.S., only
hitting No. 41, but that
hasn’t stopped it from
being widely covered.
Mangled versions
on the TV sitcoms
“Friends” and “Will
and Grace” changed
the lyrics to “Hold me
closer, Tony Danza.”
2. Th e Ramones, in
1979. Th e song was
written in a London
motel room at Christ-
mas, with nothing to
do as everything was
closed. Hence the
name.
3. Mick Hucknall,
who spent 25 years
with the group.
4. As lead singers
(Mark Volman and
Howard Kaylan) for
the Turtles, back in
1965.
5. “Th ose Oldies But
Goodies,” by Little
Caesar & the Romans,
in 1961. Th e group
was originally called
the Upfronts, but
change to the Romans
once they hooked up
with Little Caesar,
sometimes wearing
togas on stage.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Th e pos-
sibility of a new acquisition always
makes those Leonine eyes light up.
But be careful that what you see is
what you want. Appearances oft en
can be deceiving.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Details need to be
dealt with before you can move on
to another area. Make sure you don’t
leave any loose ends that could later
cause everything to unravel.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) News about a change
in the workplace carries with it a
challenge you could fi nd diffi cult to
resist. Check it out. It could be what
you’ve been waiting for.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-
ary 18) Allowing your artistic nature
full expression will help restore your
spirits and will put you in the mood
to take on that new career challenge.
A Libra creates excitement.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Expect to happily plunge right into a
hectic social whirl starting at week’s
end. Your aspects favor new friend-
ships as well as the strengthening of
old relationships.
BORN THIS WEEK: Like St.
Patrick (who was also born this
week), your spiritual strength is an
inspiration to others.
