While about 2/3 of the 27 questions (i.e., their artist name + song title + lyrics) contribute to this theme, there is also a minor theme to which about 1/3 of the questions contribute. For your inconvenience, some of the theme references are well camouflaged. Furthermore, not all questions contribute to a theme. If you do not have the official GOLQ Rules (a posted copy of the rules should follow a posted copy of this quiz on most sites), you may read them by pointing your web browser at: http://world.com/~marc/golq There have been no changes to the general rules since the last quiz. If you want GOLQs and their results and answers sent directly to you by e-mail, send a message to golq-request@world.com consisting only of the word "subscribe" in the body, not the subject, of the message.

Your participation or performance has no bearing whatsoever on your quiz score or ranking. The letters of the solved diagram plus the first letters of the solutions to clues A to T below it - when taken together in order - reveal a quote describing a fortuitous and auspicious first meeting, the recording artist quoted, and the people to whom the quote refers. [The diagram has been designed to be printed using a fixed-width font such as Courier. The diagram boxes are numbered consecutively starting at -9 (instead of +1) purely as a way of eliminating some 100+ (i.e., 3-digit) numbers, which don't fit well in the boxes.] Once solved, the 8 letters of one of the diagram's columns - when scrambled - will spell out the name of a city (not far from the aforesaid meeting) which is prominently mentioned in a related song. The combined 8 letters of two of the diagram's other columns - when scrambled and then split apart into two groups - will reveal yet two more "cities" of musical relevance. The meeting mentioned above, by the way, took place in (in some manner to be determined!) 19-72-76-56-60-56-25-80. (Lulu was not there - she was an ocean trip away!)
