Sam Cooke lives to see another day.  The charming #8-ranked “Wonderful World” inched past  #9 Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (Beatles), 110.9-110.6.

#12 Basket Case (Green Day) pulled off the upset of the day, knocking off #5 Psycho Killer (Talking Heads), 116.5-103.3.   I like to think of our voting base as eclectic in taste, but most of us share roughly the same age demographic, getting excited and nostalgic for the Dookie album in ways that our elders or youngers would not.

#4 You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon) def. #13 District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Postal Service), 106.8-103.7.

#1 Baba O’ Riley (Who) looked good in taking out #16 Bat Out of Hell (Meatloaf),  123.2-96.8.  And Natalie gets her wish.   Meatloaf is the 163rd artist eliminated from the tournament.

The new match-ups will be up a little late, working hard on something here at the office.
