Two squeakers here, Violent Femmes and Romantics went down to the wire as well as Pearl Jam and Cream, but the show must go on.

The Weight defeats Someday Never Comes, 128.5-97. That is a ridiculous score. Looks like Robbie and the crew have got a contender here.

Alive gets by White Room, 110-106.

Folsom Prison Blues takes out Man In Me, 120-108.5

Rock & Roll over Uncle John’s Band, 101-81

Come On Eileen over You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth, 108.5-87. Oh you see what I mean.

I Held Her In My Arms lasts to the fifteenth round and takes out That’s What I Like About You, 98-95.5. TKO. Many props to Orce and his brilliant quote on the true meaning of this Violent Femmes diddy for us well-meaning yet hardscrabble romantics.

Onward. The Romantics enter and exit the tournament- we’ll see the rest of these guys later, they were mostly heavyweights.
