Sorry for the delay. I have been plagued by a little bout of Chiang Kai-Shek’s revenge. Now that we’re good it’s time to start separating the wheat from the chaff. So who’s gonna advance from the Keith Richards Group? For a summary of the rules, click here.
Keith Richards Group
Rd. 1
Satisfaction vs. Jumpin’ Jack Flash
Results: In a shocker, Jumpin’ Jack Flash steals a tie. Why? Because it’s the drums that make satisfaction great. 1 point each.
Happy vs. Honky Tonk Woman
Results: Happy wins, pretty easily. Keith’s all about riffs in Open G on a 5 string guitar, that’s his singular sound and Happy is Keith’s song. Gritty, druggy and strangely uplifting.
Rd. 2
Jumpin’ Jack Flash vs. Happy
Results: Happy wins. Happy rules.
Honky Tonk Woman vs. Satisfaction
Results: Satisfaction squeaks out a victory.
Rd. 3
Happy vs. Satisfaction
Results: Just like Sumo Wrestling, Happy lets Satisfaction win so it makes through to the round of 16. Cheating bastards.
Honky Tonk Woman vs. Jumpin’ Jack Flash
Results: A listless, lifeless draw. Being born in a crossfire hurricane isn’t much of a help, apparently. Gin soaked bar-room queens are also crying.
Who Advances?
Happy
Satisfaction
