Subject: 20 Questions #25

Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 06/18/02 at 03:03 p.m.

Hey everybody!  Since this is now in a generic category (no particular decade) I thought I would try doing someone from the 80's.  No guessing until #15 and no "letter of the alphabet" questions until #20.  Ready...set...GO!  :D


I'm thinking of a singer/songwriter from the 80's...

Thanks, You did kind of lead me in the right direction though, In my wierd Illogical way of thinking, Howard Jones and Joe Jackson just kind of go together (maybe its the J's).


Ill start the next one in a couple of minutes.
