Chicago

Hey now everybody, please don't romp or roam. Here's a quiz dedicated to one of our Becky's Island artists, Chicago, one of the longest running acts in the business today. Even though I know a lot about Chicago, or maybe BECAUSE I know a lot about Chicago, this quiz was a challenge to write. I hope the folks from the infamous Chirecords board will enjoy it - and please, no fighting or I'll have to go call the Policeman or summon up the spirit of Harry Truman.
