    Have the answer; just need a new clue...

    Edit - this is basic, but it might get us on to a more reasonable clue for the next poster!

    Why did Ray Manzarek have to break on through when he could have used these instead? (3, 5)

    Your clues are as useless as 1 cent coins to Bill Gates. However Steve Jobs has done well out of these yokes. (5,9)

    Now there's a bump! Do I win a prize or something for one of the longest running clues? You didn't get exactly the right wording there, but I'll give you it!

    Although, in saying that however, Steve Wozniak may not be far away from Miss Wozniaki in name, but certainly hasn't age on his side to compete in the same sport. (5)

    Pong.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
