Retro Riddle for Monday, May 17th
The riddle today was “It’s not hard to forget boundaries when feeling playful.” And, of course, playfulness implies playing games, and you’re exploring frontiers when pushing boundaries, so the answer was “Games without Frontiers” by Peter Gabriel. Congratulations for Keith from Coventry, who won two tickets to see Blues Traveler at Lupo’s this Friday!
