Hey, this is the CP Lounge -- if you want to take the p, you'll have to get in the q.

Now that the p is unknown and not sure which q to get in I think I'll go before leaving home.

Not only are mobile (cell-) phones getting bigger and bigger again, but I now have to press a button on my watch to see the time.
Anyone know where I can get a pair of flares and an affro wig? I wouldn't want to stand out.

And don't forget the properly garish wardrobe.

Is this a question of everybody tried and couldn't work it out or nobody tried at all? If it's the former I'll give you a hint.

Well it ain't "Please Come To Boston" or "I Love That Dirty Water".
|
|

It isn't, but Boston is a good place to be thinking about!

Yes. And I see that even the Bee Gees have a song about my home state, which seems a bit absurd. However, this must be about the big power outage in the northeast (in the 50s? Ah, I see, 1965, about a month before I was born). I'm unfamiliar with it though.
I see that Tom Paxton wrote such a song, but I'm not finding lyrics or anything.

Bee Gees, huh? Would that be ...
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own
... perhaps? Cos it's the right answer, obviously.
The Tom Paxton song is about the New York blackout (unless Central Park has moved?)

Never heard of the Bee Gees' song until I went looking this morning, and your clue doesn't seem to relate to it.

It was one blackout across the northeast.

No 1 in UK, 11 in US. Famous enough for the game I would have thought. I gave you the lines in the song which are relevant so I'm not quite sure how the clue doesn't relate to that, being a number of places in MA that go dark when a person (she) is left all alone.
I am aware that the blackout, which the Bee Gees song is nothing to do with by the way, was across a much broader area but the Tom Paxton song does refer specifically to Central Park and generally to New York so it would have been odd to clue that with places in Massachussets to say the least.
I guess I'll be doing next week's as well then? Nah worries, mate.

The towns you mention are not mentioned in the song. Your clues require too much familiarity with Massachusetts and the blackout, and even I didn't think of Massachusetts first. Then, being familiar with Massachusetts, I assumed it was about western Mass, not the whole state nor the entire northeast.
I had also never heard of the song (which is fine), but once I saw the lyrics I saw no connection to the clues -- I still see no way you could expect the average Code Projector to get to that song from that clue.
Furthermore, I doubt there is a reasonable clue that would lead to that song -- bad song choice.
But maybe that's just me.

Well, gee, don't hold back. Tell me how you really feel!
I'll try not to assume that CPers are intelligent, cultured, knowledgeable people capable of lateral thinking in future! Though, if I get stick for making it too easy like the previous one that was answered in 30 seconds, I'm blaming you!

It seems to me (and I didn't start the thing, so I'm not the ultimate arbiter) that solving the puzzle should require only a familiarity with the song, not with geography and local history.

Is this related to pixies at the bottom of the garden?

I prefer him when he is like this (it was ~4.45 a.m. his time when he posted this, so your assumptions about Mushrooms are not far off the mark, my guess is speed though)
