I put Wing in there with Beatle and Stone but tried in ages to find a 4th band. Was there The Nats? The Aunts? But gave up on them and started guessing randomly after that

Was going to say exactly the same thing. Decided to leave that bit and try to eliminate by other lines. The first line I got ruled out that link totally.

Spoiler

My struggle was knowing baseball teams. I thought 'Nats' might be one

It's mad this game. Some days I see you all getting it easy and I blow it. Today I cruised it when it looked like others struggled.

Only got Purple by process of elimination though.

Spoiler

If you're not into US sports I can see how that group could have got people. Also, I immediately thought of the Hells Angels when I saw 'Chapter' so that made that group easy

Different minds work in different ways, so some are better at some type of connections and worse at others.

I just figure that anyone who completes a day that I can't is just a nincompoop whose brain is wired the wrong way, and anyone who can't compete a day I can also happens to be a nincompoop.

I had three of that line but couldn't see a third so 'parked' it to come back to. Managed to pick the others off to leave me with the final four - and I too went "Do fuck off" (or words to that effect!)
