When legends collide…
The Elite 8 basketball games that were on yesterday included the savage injury to Kevin Ware, and at LTD we send positive thoughts his way.
Obviously being on the road has been more grueling than Guillermo or I expected. We never did rendezvous, missing each other in Seattle by about four days. I compose from here in Boulder, a charming college town.
Today’s playlist is here and the tournament bracket is here. Listen and vote by 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Friday, April 5. We are down to four radio songs and four opening tracks, so all the tracks below have earned broad support so far. I direct your attention to the second Track 1 match-up, which features a classic Beatles vs. Rolling Stones showdown. It is fitting that these opening tracks are doing battle in 2013, and these albums rivaled for attention when they were released in 1969.
See you in the comments!
