Yeah, but Hal's been coming and going ever since and is still active, I believe. Having said that limiting ourselves to Sector 2814 we also have Guy Gardner as current GL and probably John Stewart (wasn't the last Inquisition about him?). Add in the rest of the Galaxy and we've got 3599 others to pick from. (My favourites were Kilowog and that one who looked like a squirrel). |

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Sep 09 04:00PM -0500 GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #344 (GOLQ344) Welcome to the 25th anniversary edition of the Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz! To mark this special occasion, a theme applies to the recordings used for #01-#25. This should be a very easy quiz, even if you don't figure out the theme. The tie-breakers are not part of this theme. They had an achievement similar to the other songs, but not in the same place as them or to each other. And here's a clue for you all--no more than one of them achieved this in a setting originated by Billboard. Year range: 1955-1969 (with potential chart entry in late 1954 or chart continuation into early 1970) including the tie-breakers. (If you have seen a prerelease version of GOLQ344, please note that songs #01 and #06 have been replaced.)
