Good times, @Hemotep...

Ever the player, Ray Charles fathered a total of 12 children with a massive nine women. In 2004, he reportedly gave each one $500,000 on the condition they would receive no further inheritance from his estate. But following his 2006 death, his estate ended up having to sue seven of the kids for violating the deal.

Ray, Ray, Ray.

In retrospect, every song title on this one is quite telling...

Ok, there's not clarification in this story whether this was in a venue bathroom, but given what this prompt did to my search history I'm gonna take the expert points. Anyway, apparently Neil Diamond wasn't averse to picking up groupies.

Thanks @Hemotep for the excellent month! I did not think I'd have to delve into the depths of my collection to play 2 Neil Diamond and 2 Chuck Mangione records, but I guess you never know where the "choose your own adventure" is gonna lead you. Loved the prompt and the tangents it took us on.

Next months thread is up, gonna be a group challenge led by myself, @jamieanderson1968 , @avecigrec , and @Nee Lewman . Come join us!

Thread 'November Challenge Thread: All-Stars Edition!'

Yesterday at 6:22 PM

Hey, now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold, Only shooting stars break the mold
​

Welcome to the November All Star Challenge thread! Rather than the usual full month, a few of us are going to glitter like gold and break the mold by taking separate chunks of time with mini challenges.

Normal rules apply, try not to play the same thing as someone else for the same day.

Note - Clues will be filled in by the following dates:

31. Expert: Play an album by a musician who was publicly called out or admitted to doing the deed in a nasty concert venue bathroom.

C.R. Avery – Act One


I'd like to think the bathroom wasn't too nasty since I was one of the people responsible for its upkeep, but C.R. and one of my co-workers definitely did the deed in one of the cafe bathrooms after one of his many shows there.

Points: 341.5

 

[avecigrec]

Thanks for an awesome month @Hemotep! That was both tons of fun, and incredibly challenging to run down all 31 days on Expert mode.

This is what my month looked like...

 

[Hemotep]

I for one liked it.
