Photo courtesy of Donnell Clarke, Clarke & Associates There are innumerable ways to open this concert preview. We could do straight down the middle, noting the sheer amount of R&B power taking the stage at Temple University this weekend. Or perhaps a witty (sexual yet tasteful) reference to starting a love train? But seriously, just look at the photo. Who wouldn't want to spend a Saturday...

A couple of years ago I created a Money Rocks Quiz for a financial website. The idea is to match lyrics, artist and song title. The songs cover fifty years. I believe all have been nominated for the wealth category in this week's RR already or are zedded. There is a link to the answers after the quiz.
