What a funny-looking rock star. Van Morrison, who has two more songs coming up in the play-in, put up his first win of the tournament, with Moondance defeating Long Black Veil (Band) 93-87.   He has another match-up starting today.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered (Stevie Wonder) def. Take the Money and Run (Steve Miller Band), 91-80.

Regulate (Warren G) TIES Empire State of Mind (Jay Z), 91-91.  This was our first tie that I couldn’t resolve on the spot, because I and the people around me had already cast our votes.    Fortunately Astrid had just emailed me that she was back from her weekend trip (hence lack of voting), and I asked her to cast a late vote, which resulted in…drumroll…98.5 for Empire and 96 for Regulate. Sorry, Warren G, but you’ll have to settle for this academic synopsis of your song and video.

Ohio (CSNY) def. American Woman (Guess Who), 81-73.

California Dreamin (Mamas and the Papas) def. Army (Ben Folds), 84-81.  Cristina had to break the tie on this one- at the conclusion of voting it was locked at 77.  Every point counts, folks.  I went the other way with my vote…
