For years my wife and I went to the election polls and cancelled each others votes out. (but she finally came around to her right mind)
But of course Harvey's tournament is a much more important thing to argue about than Presidential elections!

I've got some strong ideas about music, and I guess these particular choices gave me no problems!

Have you and TJ compared music collections to see how much overlapping there is?
You'd hate to find out after the marriage that the albums he listens to everyday are "Yodellings Greatest Yodels"!!!

Well, the Barry Manilow thing bothers me ... but that's what you've got CD players in the car for!

Well I can listen to "Mandy" but the rest of it you can chuck!
(or did I mean up-chuck)
We've got over a thousand albums and CD's and we've only overlapped in taste for a few years in the mid-ninties when alternative got popular enough for my wife to like it, then when women singer/songwriters got alternative enough for me to like them. Now she's into Jennifer Lopez, N'CYNC and other dreadful stuff.

Now why don't they have you discuss things like this in the marriage preparation courses? I should think listening to Jennifer Lopez would be grounds for divorce ... right up there with embezzeling from your mother ...

Her ability to embezzel from my mother is what made me fall in love with her in the first place!! (she's loaded)
Ah she's a dancer so anything with a dance beat usually gets her hooked! (hence the JaLo stuff!)
We've been so behind since our move we haven't organized the music closet, so there has been no music to argue about. Except Nathalie's Barney, Sesame Street and Disney stuff!!!

HERE'S THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!
After 62 matches the final two left standing are a bit of a surprise to me, being that they are both from the very beginnings of Rock n Roll in the 1950s. There is an arguement for many other songs to be here other than these, but somehow it seems fitting that two of the founding fathers should face off for the title.
So here goes-
Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
vs.
Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
Thank you for making this so much fun!

Thank *you* for making it so much fun! I'd hug you, but I don't want to scare you away ...
I have to go with Chuck ... and I hope that doesn't make Elvis too jealous ...

Hey the votes pretty close, so far!
Why don't you hug Harvey, he's the one responsible for all this.
(if you can find him...he IS invisible after all)

It could be that "Kick Me" sign that was put on my back the year Super Glue was invented. Man, second graders can be mean!

How did they glue it to your bare back?

Did I ever tell you I was a recovering Elementary School alcholic?
It's a episode of my life I usually don't like people to know about...the lost weekends, the binges, the wild super glueing parties, reverting back to diaper wearing...wait...that was college.
Too many dead brain cells!

The winner of the first "Harvey's Rock Era Song Tournament" is...
ta...da...da...daaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"Jailhouse Rock"
Still the "King" after all these years!
It's been posted on the tournament page. But RL has gotten in the way of me contacting everyone who participated. I want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of the "Diamonds on the souls of my shoes" to the top of my "Bang your Head"!!!
Thanks so much!
What's that Harvey? Oh he says Elvis has left the building.
