Ok here in Chicago, there's this guy on the radio named Garry Meier, been on the air for years. He had a contest to win tickets to see the Elton John/Billy Joel concert at Wrigley Field, wherein he plays a montage comprised of snippets of 10 songs by both of them, I mean really tiny, obscure bits of the songs, and not all of them are the really obvious hits. You guess the songs in order, you win the tickets. I listened yesterday and got them all, but never called in because I didn't really want tickets. No one won, so today they did it again, and caller after dumbass caller got them wrong, some missing the point of the contest entirely. Finally this AUTISTIC girl calls in, shows everyone up by getting them all right, in order, bang bang one after the other, and WON. You could hear her ma going nuts in the back and Garry was all impressed and giving credit where credit was due. It was great. So yeah, score 1 for the AS! Just thought I'd share this. I was proud.

Kudos to you. Well done

No, not me, another girl called in. I didn't want the tix.

no, it was another girl. her mother called for her and said she had an autistic daughter who knew the songs and then she put her on the air and she won. what i meant was, i got the songs right too, the day before, but only in my head. i never called in.

You should have called in! that piano man tour is suppose to be amazing. Wish I had 720 tuned in, my moms favorite singer growing up was Elton John and my dad's Billy Joel, So I grew up listening to thier albums. Wonder how well I could have done.
