A slightly different link this week, though I'm sure you had no trouble working it out.
All the artists below wrote songs that were covered by The Man In Black...
10. MOT failed over trivialities.
The MOT failed because it went backwards = TOM.
Trivialities are petty things.
Johnny Cash - I Won't Back Down
Or you could have had...
Johnny Cash - Southern Accents
9. A good Manchester lawn.
That would be a sound garden. Sound as a pound.
8. Old devil from the underworlde.
Old Nick was the devil, down low(e) in the underworld.
7. Bequest of past-its-sell-by-date pork.
A bequest is a will, the out of date pork would be old ham.
Will Oldham (Bonnie "Prince" Billy) - I See A Darkness
Johnny Cash - I See A Darkness
6. Welsh seaside resort declares itself female, with pride.
The resort would be Rhyl, which is proud to declare itself a She. To the point that it crows about it.
Sheryl Crow & Johnny Cash - Redemption Day
5. Guevara goes in deep - that's just how he travels.
Add Che (Guevara) to deep and to might get Depeche. The way he travels is his mode of transport.
4. Embryo lab.
Anagram!
3. Forever Young?
Diamonds are forever, of course. With Neil Young.
And here's Johnny and Neil together.
2. Swedish detective.
This one...
1. Lenin in chains.
Anagram!
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
I wasn't around yesterday so was unable to be on the starting line with the rest of your Saturday crew.
ReplyDeleteHowever, taking a look at the runners and riders and I'd have put a ton of money on No. 10 being my older cousin, Gordon Henson; tho' to the best of my knowledge Gordon never wrote anything the great Johnny Cash covered - in fact I think I can safely say Gordon never wrote anything, period.
Gordon passed a couple of years ago (around the same time as his schoolboy doppelgänger) so thank you for reminding me of him.
Have a great Sunday.
You too, John. Happy to help with the memories.
DeleteThe covers angle could make for great future snapshots. Well done this week, Rol.
