(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

I had to look it up, because it was running thru my head and I had NO IDEA who it was. It's old, too -- 1969 -- so it must be from those days spent with my favorite uncle after school.
Hm. Well, Rush had an entire A-side of an album about "2112", but the year is never actually mentioned in the lyrics. Darn.
Still thinking...

tin the days when lands were few.

Someday they won't let you, now you must agree, the times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free.
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV.
Beware the savage jaw of 1984.
