For those of you just joining us, the idea is to guess which character from literature is indicated by the clues. The winner gets to choose the next character and write the next set of clues.
Here's the first one for this thread, with my apologies if it's one we've already done.
Clue 1: I get into trouble for overhearing something I wasn't supposed to be listening to.

Don't worry sugey, I'm sure someone here must've read the book, just be patient, I'm sure someone will come up with the answer. *wonders who would listen to a band who didn't have a drummer and didn't have lyrics to their songs.....*

It does sound like an interesting story. I never read anything like that plot.

Here's clue six:
My father was a cop, who was killed in an "accident" six years ago. I find a box with his old school books. The books are full of coded messages. If I can decode the messages, maybe I can find out the truth about his death.

I enjoyed King Dork, G. I thought it was really funny. However, I was pretty pissed when Tom started ragging on my band Led Zeppelin. What's wrong with him? Its like that horrible Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of all time list. IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS "SATISFACTION" BY THE ROLLING STONES (a song I love btw) BETTER THAN "STARIWAY TO HEAVEN"? KASHMIR IS #140. most of the songs on the list are some of my favorite songs, but the order in which they are listed makes me want to throw things. Thats why I stay away from lists. grrrr

I agree 100%. EVERYONE knows that "Sympathy For The Devil" is the greatest Stones' track, bar none. We don't need silly lists to tell us that :-)

Best Zepplin song? For me it's The Ocean, but pretty much any track by Zep is better than 90% by any other rock bands. (suge now loves me.) Honorable mentions: Immigrant Song, Achillies Last Stand.

469--> I love "Paint It Black" but I have to third Tid and LG's vote for "Sympathy for the Devil".
471--> Oh, god, LG I love "The Ocean". I listen to it just about every morning. Suge loved you before, but now I love and adore you more. Hey! One of my favorite songs is "Achilles Last Stand" John Bonham was an amazing percussionist and the drums on that track are incredible.
472--> The guitars on "Since I've been loving" you are absolutely just.... brilliant. In my opinion Jimmy Page is the greatest guitarist of all time. He's like a wizard with a pick. I love Jimmy Hendrix and Chuck Berry but Jimmy P brings me to tears.
473--> Too true, Lg any Led Zep song will do to make me happy!
HA on you LG! I actually have the "Houses of the Holy" LP (listen to it just about every day when I get dressed for work) and I owned the "Physical Graffiti" CD until my friend stepped on the disc with "Kashimir" on it by accident. Its hard to pick between those two records, LG. Both records are sensational. I guess I would go with "Physical" because it has "Ten Years Gone".
My favorite Led Z song? I'd have to say "Kashmir" because it was the very first Led Zeppelin song I ever heard and I was completely blown away. I also LOVE "Going to California" and GOD "When the Levee Breaks" and "D'yer M'aker" and.... I could go on for ever. Again, any Led Z song that's playing.
