h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Did you have to say hard drive right after a post about gay men?

I got to see the Heads during their Stop Making Sense tour at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium here. It was great! A nice, intimate setting, outdoors, and a fabulous show!

Pick a winner of each of the following match-ups by the end of the day Friday:

Bracket 1
16.Love is the Drug – Roxy Music
7.Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry

Bracket 2
1.Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones
14.Bridge Over troubled Water – Simon and Garfunkel

Bracket 3
1.Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
3.Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Bracket 4
9.Brass in Pocket – The Pretenders
14.Once In a Lifetime – Talking Heads

Then everyone's votes will be tabulated and we'll come up with our "Final Four"!

Thanks

1 Chuck Berry
2 S + G
3 Elvis
4 Pretenders

Your computer is fast. I'm used to my work computer, this home machine is soooo slow it's like getting teeth pulled by a quadrapalegic dentist!

Thanks for the vote, but now I have to make GDesk decide on Pretenders/Talking Heads because it's tied after all these votes!
He said it was too hard a choice.

Here's FINAL FOUR!!! This round is the same as the last with everyone voting between the 2 semi-final match-ups below:

SEMI-FINAL 1
7.Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
1.Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones

SEMI-FINAL 2
1.Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
14.Once In a Lifetime – Talking Heads

I hope your favorites are left!!!

Next round the Championship Match!

Johnny B Goode
Jailhouse Rock

Hey D! Where's yer Dad?

Out looking for Dewey. Odd... I didn't think you get roaming on our ISP

What's my ISP and why is it roaming!

Is this another terrible thing that's going to happen to my body now that I'm in my 40s? Drat!!!

(Pssst, I'm a tech-moron)

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!

*Checks to see whether it's me or the ... it's me*

Elvis

Thank you...thank you very mush!

The winner of the first "Harvey's Rock Era Song Tournament" is...

"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.
