Four evenly paced winners suggest that this half of H’s bracket is anyone’s game.

#2 American Girl (Tom Petty) def. #15 Sex Machine (James Brown),  126-112.

#7 Just What I Needed (Cars) def. #10 Like A Prayer (Madonna), 126-117 .

#3 We Can Work It Out (Beatles) def. #14 New York, New York (Frank Sinatra),  129-110.

#11 Lose Yourself (Eminem) def. #6 Rudie Can’t Fail (Clash), 140-122 .  The only upset of the day, from our angry car-peddler.  Eminem actually posted easily the highest score of the day. What up, Detroit.

Frank Sinatra and Madonna are the 164th and 165th artists eliminated from the tournament, and certainly among its more prominent exiters.
