Wow. 

These be wild times.  You are not going to believe what just transpired. Let’s get the routine stuff out of the way.

#2 Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding) def. #15 Criminal (Fiona Apple),  115.3-101.6 .  Goodbye, Fiona Apple.

#10 Everlong (Foo Fighters) def. #7 Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen),  115.5-115.3.  People liked Dancing in the Dark just fine, but some closet nostalgia for Mr. Grohl.

No way. In the closest matchup to date, #14 Come Sail Away (Styx) def. #3 Walk on the Wild Side (Lou Reed), 123.65-123.55.   The madness of March, folks. That’s what we live for. Oh yeah, and every vote counts.  In this tournament, your vote within a vote counts.  I’ll feel ashamed listening to Lou Reed for the next week.

#11 Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison) def. #6 Me and Bobby McGee (Janis Joplin), 127.65-126.15.  Don’t worry Guillermo, people haven’t soured on the Biloxi 2006 Music Tournament Champion yet.  Tough loss for Janis, who still has Piece of My Heart battling.

Fiona Apple, a graduate of my fine alma mater, St. Hilda and St. Hughes, has been eliminated, making her #178 in the artist toll.
