OUR GUESS: Daryl Hall
In his clue package, Nessy talked a lot about being a “private guy,” which could be a reference to Daryl‘s 1981 album Private Eyes. The radio clue could be a reference to Daryl‘s podcast Live from Daryl’s House, in which he performs with other artists from the comfort of his own home. Some of Daryl‘s singles fit the clues, including “Private Eyes” (the private jet), “Kiss on My List” (the red lips), and “Portable Radio” (the radio). The “exposed” clue could be a reference to the time Daryl collaborated on Robert Fripp‘s album Exposure.
