What do we got?  George Harrison Vs Roxy Music?  NO!  We have 8-Deke Dickerson VS 7-Old Crow Medicine Show for Final Game!

06Apr14: Yes, quite the shocker.  Never before in Star Wars History have 2 lower-ranked seeds gone this far to duke it out.  We have the first 'guest host' in history getting to the finals, Abe.  Abe is under heavy scrutiny for abandoning his team.  Old Crow doesn't seem to care. Mark Ewing coaches Deke Dickerson, although he never thought Deke would get in instead of George Harrison, Devo, The Rolling Stone or The Cramps.  Ewing is scrambling to find a good album by Deke Dickerson. 
  Another crushing defeat for George Harrison.  So close to getting "All Things Must Pass", but Harrison just didn't play well, especially at the end.  I'll repeat what JimBob said when Devo went down: "Mthr%^&fck87r".  It's the only thing I can think to say.  I may be done with George Harrison, that album is too hard to get, it's too elusive.  Might have to move on.  Reminds me when I kept trying to get Sniff N the Tears album, after a few years of getting no effort, I move on.  I'll never have that song, "Driver's Seat".  Too elusive. 
  Next year promises to bring some exciting changes to Star Wars.  Stay tuned.  Some exciting punishments and rules will frustrate guest hosts where their behavior will be monitored on a daily basis.  So go ahead and do stuff...and see what happens....
  Good luck Old Crow, Good luck Deke:  Let the Game begin....

The Final Four!!

 1-George Harrison Vs 7-Old Crow Medicine Show

2-Roxy Music Vs 8-Deke Dickerson

Ewing Names Deke Dickerson, George Harrison Albums to Have for Vader Trophy

Deke Dickerson:  Number One Hit Record and More Million Sellers (1998)


Winchester, working full-time in the Assigner's office, filled out the proper paperwork for Deke and was happy to say:
 "I met Deke and The Ecco-Fonics backstage while reviewing Mike Ness during the "Cheating at Solitaire" Tour. There we talked about their current album and their second album they were anxious to release. Guys with Talent and Experience!  "End of the Line" is probably one of the greatest songs on the entire album, reminiscent of one of the few slow songs of "Bill Haley and The Comets" other songs to try: Poon-Tang, Mexicali Rose, and HotRodQueen. Watch for the ALL-STAR line up backing up Deke and the Ecco-Fonics!  Great Rockabilly, be-bop, roots, Southern Twang mix!  If you like Marty Robins, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Lead Belly,Buddy Holley, and the Big Bopper, chances are you'll like this!
 And by the way, look at this chicken sandwich!  While I have the floor, I'd like to bring up a sore subject, you see, the Grand Rapids refs are taking all the games down here and it's a bunch of bullshit..."

Deke wins The Ukraine!!
Deke Dickerson, an 8-seed, is just as surprised as Mark Ewing to make the Final Four.  But remember old Deke defeated Star Wars staple 9-The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and before he knew it, Deke was on the court playing 1-Chris Rea.  Deke defeated Rea, to the shock of many.  An even bigger test turned out to be fan favorite, 4-The Cramps, and Deke came out the victor.  With the Battle of Ukraine on the line Vs 2-Devo, everyone thought Devo was going to prevail, but it was Deke again coming through at the end and The Ukraine was his!  Deke is now thrust into the spot light to play 2-Roxy Music. 

................................................................................................................................................................

George Harrison  "All Things Must Pass" (1970)

All Things Must Pass was critically acclaimed on release and, with long stays at number 1 on charts around the world, commercially successful. The album was co-produced by Phil Spector and employs his Wall of Sound production technique to notable effect; Ben Gerson of Rolling Stone described the sound as "Wagnerian, Brucknerian, the music of mountain tops and vast horizons".^[1] Reflecting the general surprise at the assuredness of Harrison's post-Beatles debut, Melody Maker's Richard Williams likened the album to Greta Garbo's first role in a talking picture and declared: "Garbo talks! – Harrison is free!"^[2] Several critics consider All Things Must Pass to be the best of all the Beatles' solo albums.
  The holy grail of Star Wars!  Harrison has been ranked number one for 3 straight years in the attempt to make the loser have to purchase the Triple-disk album set.  Ewing and Signore have not heard the album all that much, and Ewing has been critical of Harrison's supposed 'gifted' guitar skills, but he does like his music all the same.  Signore was drinking scotch at the airport, throwing ice, and it was decided now was not a good time to ask him any questions....

You ask your children: Who won at Tippecanoe?  Your moron of a son anwers "William Henry Harrison?".  "No, you stupid, bloated idiot- it was George Harrison!"

 Harrison feels the  pressure to win, but so far he has had no trouble defeating 16-The Floaters, 9-Stevie Ray Vaughn, 4-The Reverend Horton Heat, and Stormtrooper Award winner 11-The Pixies. And now he has 7-The Old Crow Medicine Show (without coach Abe) as his final hurdle to get into the Death Star Duel. 

Ewing predicts!!  French Fries lifted high in the air?  OK, good.  Must be the wrong crowd.  It's always the wrong crowd.  It will be 1-George Harrison over Old Crow.  It will be 2-The Roxy Music over 8-Deke Dickerson.   In the finals:  George Harrison will defeat Roxy Music, 77-70, and Tony Signore will be ordering me the legendary "All Things Must Pass"!!!  Yes!!

Abe Stumbles into Final Four, Heavily Sanctioned

Old Crowe Medicine Show will face George Harrison, that is well known.  The fact that OCMS got this far is stupefying. Coach Abe Hoekwater stopped coaching after the first round. He can be seen sitting on the bench texting friends, ordering popcorn and occasionally cheering for his opponent. Sources have reported that he has placed Big Money on his team to lose. "What about it?" quipped Abe. "I really don't like any of my players, they know , I know it. Why can't they be more like, well, George Harrison. He's dead and I still like him more than my team. Bunch of pansy asses. Final four, so what."
Abe does not seem to care about his team. He has clearly quit. They are doing it on their own. Good luck Old Crowe. The Star Wars Review Committee will certainly look into his actions for next years tournament.

Roxy Music Talks Drugs, Sex and Basketball

Bryan Ferry, sporting facial injuries he received in his epic battle with Jeff Tweedy, will face Deek Dickerson.  Signore seemed concerned about his starting point guard.  "I tossed him a beer after the game and he grabbed at air. Right through his hands. Am I worried? Does Frank LaLonde cross the Saginaw Bay in January to get to Hooters? Hell yes."

30March14 Update:

Pixies Win 2014 Stormtrooper Award!!

  Quite the year for The Pixies.  On the verge of releasing their first album ("Indie Cindy") in 23 years,  Tony Signore tabbed them to be a middle of the road 11-seed, and not too much was expected of them.  Before The Pixies knew what was going on, spending an hour driving around looking for the assigner's office and discovered they would be heading to Tippecanoe drawing an emotional match with Ewing favorite 6-seeded Warren Zevon.   We all remember that first week:  The Pixies took down Zevon.  The next week paired up the Pixies with 3-The Rolling Stones, in their 3rd straight year of being one of the best bands in The Star Wars.  The Pixies played well and knocked off The Rolling Stones and Tippecanoe was in turmoil!  Fans began frantically marking up their brackets.  Brackets were busted!  The Pixies kept advancing!  Paired up the next week with 10-Niko Case: a former Star Wars Champion and Case had proved her clout by taking down 2-The Beatles in the week before.  The Pixies prevailed again, taking down Niko Case and getting a much publicized game with the Top-ranked 1-George Harrison.  Harrison was able to hold off The Pixies and brought their season to an end, but for an 11-seed to go 3-1 was a great run.  The Pixies will be back next year with some well-deserved immunities.

Pixie coach Tony Signore was largely unavailable to promote The Pixie's run as he is still seen going through the motions of pretending he is a huge REO Speedwagon fan.  "Whah.  Me can't decide if I should get their Greatest Hits or maybe that Tuna Fish one.  I really like  "Im A Gonna Keep On Loving You"- "Love that song, the lyrics are so deep, and powerful to a man like me....I think it's super!  Hey Sausage, book me a ticket to the Lowell Livestock and Feed Show in August- I hear REO and Kansas are doing a show- I want to hear me some RGO Speedwagon!!  I'm a fan you know!!"
 Secretly, you know Tony is actually praying for one more ounce of magic by The Old Crow Medicine Show....

Devo Vs Deke Dickerson:  Deke's great run probably ends here but I tip my energy dome to ol Deke. He beat down 1-seed Chris Rea and fan favorite 4-The Cramps.  Ewing will not forget that and promises Deke will be back next year.  Guest host Jim Bob Ewing insists on getting a vinyl copy of  "Duty Now for the Future", not sure how we handle that, but we'll let it play out.  Devo does not have this game in the bag by any means, can't wait to watch it.  Who wants the Ukraine? 

Today's games:
 4-REO vs 7-Old Crow will decide The Hick today. 
8-Deke Dickerson vs 2-Devo will decide The Ukraine. 

Tippecanoe Winner:  1-George Harrison.  (The late Harrison wins his 2nd Kirby Kyle Award!)
Stonewall Winner:  2-Roxy Music (great OT game beating Tony's 1-ranked overall team Wilco)

Group Captain, do you know what Clemenceau once said about Star Wars?:  He said, "Military justice is to justice what military music is to music. "

Lalonde Distributes Blue Gloves, Shows Up to Make His Final Four Predictions!!

 Lalonde tries to lift 2013 sanctions by 'telling it like it is'....

Tippecanoe
"My Sweet Lord"...who'd of thunk it, that The Pixies would be setting their sights on a trip to the Death Star. As Black Francis was heard to say: "If Kurt 'Bagboy' Cobain were alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave." On being informed that Mr. Cobain was, indeed dead, Francis boldly continued by pointing over the crowd of (seven) reporters and yelling "SQUIRREL!" As all faces turned, Francis scampered away from the podium as a nearby usher approached and informed everyone that "The Pixies are Dust!"...
Based on such incidents, one has to consider The Pixies a minor stumbling block for the George Harrison. Being the last remaining hope for The Beatles (both solo and as a team), Harrison has shown great moral fortitude. "Yeah, Harrison's got what we refer to in the industry as "Colon Control," Emperor Mark Ewing told a gathering of (The) Eagles. "With Tom gone, we've decided to open up Harry. Yes...tonight, we DIG," Ewing told a completely baffled contingent of Orientals from the "Ching Chang Ding Dong School of Haiku" who were searching for the studio where "The Colbert Report" originates from.
Prediction: The George Harrison over The Pixies, 87-68. ================

Stonewall
A true "Battle of the Bands" is shaping up in the power-packed Stonewall Region. Wilco prepares to take on the mighty Roxy Music. Both squads can pour on the shots - "...and they can score points as well," GM Tony "Bwana-Devil" Signore added. On being asked what the key to victory for Wilco is, Signore astutely told the two people in attendence: "Well, it's give and take, but more about the take. When you take more than you give, but give some a bit more - that's when you've got them right where they think they are." Asked to sum up his convoluted strategy, and simply say what Wilco needs to do, Signore stared blankly at an empty pizza pan and said: "Score more points than Roxy Music."
Prediction: Wilco 81 - Roxy Music 76 ================

Hickory
The region with the least amount of madness thus far, Hickory seems to be following the script as written. Unfortunately, the script seems to be from "Ishtar." The premier regional semi-final is one to truly break Signore's heart: The Lou Reed facing powerhouse REO Speedwagon. "Boy, I'm glad I don't have to bet on that match-up...that's why my bookie takes care of such things," Signore told an attentive group of pre-schoolers. "I made boom-boom," said one of the children, to which Signore responded "So did I...so did I..."
Prediction (Semi-Final): REO Speedwagon 86, Lou Reed 72
In the other Semi-final, Lucinda takes on a very feisty Old Crow. "Like a fine wine, The Old Crow just knocks you on your back," Ewing told the farm-hands who were busily consuming their meals, and who had wandered into the arena under the impression that it was the factory for fine sausages. Meanwhile, Signore went on record to say "Smoked Hickory...Old Crow...Lucinda...such are the things that dreams are made of...It's led...uh...lead...oh, damn, where's the script..."
Predicion (Semi-Final): Lucinda 72, Old Crow 68
Prediction (Final): REO Speedwagon 81, Lucinda 74 ================

Ukraine
If you're looking for a battlefield, just cry me a river. You've got Deke Dickerson fighting The Cramps...and also playing "The Cramps." In the other semi-final, the Devo will take on a upstart Shelby Lynn. While Signore remained relatively quiet about incursions made into the Ukraine, Ewing keeps maintaining that "We need breathing room." In the first semi-final, it shouldn't be a surprise to see the Deke Dickerson dropping from the SWI. "It's hard, when you've got The Cramps," Ewing told a family sitting on a porch outside their Oklahoma tool shed. "Wherever there's a pang...The Cramps'll be there. Wherever a team runs too hard, The Cramps'll be there. A cure for The Cramps? Time...time, and several small unmarked bills," Ewing told the Okie-Tribune.
Prediction (Semi-Final): The Cramps 68, Deke Dickerson 59
In the other Semi-final, The Devo will be looking to honor falled comrade Bob2, and demolish Shelby Lynn (designated upstart). The Devo looks like a team on a mission. A mission of what, that's still to be determined.
Prediction (Semi-Final): The Devo 70, Shelby Lynn 65
Prediction (Final): The Cramps 70, The Devo 67 ================

Final Four Prediction: George Harrison Wilco REO Speedwagon The Cramps


Recap:

Frank:  1-George Harrison, 1-Wilco, 4-REO, 4-The Cramps
Mark:   1-George Harrison, 1-Wilco, 1-Lou Reed, 4-The Cramps
Tony:  11-The Pixies, 4-Norah Jones, 4-REO, 4-The Cramps

 

 

 

Are you listening, The Pixies?

 

I really like the complicated riffs created by George Harrison.  How does he do it?  Oh wait, aren't those just simple B and C chords? - Jesus Christ

 

2014 Victims of George Harrison:  It Does Come Easy:  16-The Floaters, 9-Stevie Ray Vaughn, 4- The Reverend Horton Heat, 11-The Pixies

Are You Listening George Harrison?

Yes he played well, and took out a very strong 4 Horton Heat, but can 1 Harrison take on the new up-starts? Blue eyed hexe? I don't really know what that is...but I never understood half of Harrison's songs either. 11 Pixies simply will not go gently into the night.

 

Let Me Tell Ya:  Mark Ewing Predicts the Final Four!!   Expect The Unexpected. 

Tippecanoe:  George Harrison.   He the man.  All things must pass, and this is the year of George.  He'll have to beat Horton Heat.  He'll romp over Niko Case, who just hasn't the fight anymore after quite a few years of being a true player.   Its George.  George Harrison.  He gonna get some Darth.  We gonna be hearin' "My Sweet Lordy".

Hickory:  Grapes of Wrath shit.  More like JackAssin Around looking for Ol Ma.  Hey, Aint Bee, telephones fer ya, probably ol Andy without pants and he's roarin drunk.  I'm pickin and grinning and choosin' 1-Lou Reed to knock off REO.  Epic battle, but Tony does not get his Tuna Fish album.  Yeah, I think it was in Denver, REO was afraid to board that plane, they said, "Hey, Tony, We gonna ride in the storm out, can I hear ya?  Yes, we riding the storm out."  Tony wants that.  Lets give a hand to Old Crow:  They took out some fine teams this year.  Lou Reed, he won last year, with the hurt liver and all, this year, he's dead, he's Kirby Kylin it, we like Lou.  Yes...Lou Reed takes the Hick.

Stonewalley:   Pretty boring division as 1-Wilco and 2- Roxy still exist.  4-Norah Jones has always played well in Star Wars.  Look at her record over the years.  I can't quite pick her to beat Wilco, but it's gonna be close.  Roxy will beat 6-Brian Adams.  That BrianAdams, he took out 3-ZZTop, quite a year.  Wilco will take Stonewalley

Ukraine:  Great division! 1-Chris"Fool if you think it's over" Rea and 3- Ween are eliminated! Hey Chris Rea, Who's the fool now?  It's over, You's za fool.  Shoulda shot better.....Hey, What? How could that be?   2-Devo going strong, playing to honor Bob2:  They will beat Shelby Lynn-the upstart.  Great battle in 8-Deke Dickerson and 4-The Cramps:  both making Star Wars debuts.  I have always said:  Look out for the Cramps, hell they may even take down Devo! Yes, its a gonna be The Cramps!

George Harrison - Lou Reed - Wilco - The Cramps -  Silver bullet, yeah.

                                                 The Cramps:  Looking for a big win

Rose of Sharon Predicts Final Four

"Me an’ Connie don’t want to pull for Tippecanoe  teams no more. We got it all planned up what we gonna do.

Well, we talked about it, me an’ Connie. Ma, well, we gonna pick dem damn Pixies comin' outta 'Ol Tips-a-lot.  Connie gonna get a job in a store or maybe a factory. Then he'll know more about this stuff, talkin' and hangin' out with fellas like Abe an stuff.  An’ he’s gonna study at home, maybe radios, so he can get to be a expert an’ maybe later be like one of them color guys that talks about the game. Hear 'em. Hear 'em coming right out of the talking box like he was in the room with you. 

 An’ we’ll go to pitchers whenever.  An’ Connie says I’m gonna have a doctor when the baby’s born; an’ he says we’ll see how times is, an’ maybe I’ll go to a hospiddle. Them doctors knows stuff.  Like how the Cramps will win the Ukraine. 

 An’ we’ll have a car, a little car. An’ when he gets done studying at night, why – it’ll be nice, an’ he tore a page out of Western Love Stories, an’ he’s gonna send off for a course ‘cause it don’t cost nothin’ to send off. Says right on that clipping. I seen it. I seen that Norah Jones come limpin' outta them Stonewall Jackson division. I seen it, as plain as day. Roxy Music be good, but Jones be better. Ask the doctors.

 An’, why- they even get you a job when you take that course-radios, it is—nice clean work, and a future. Just like the future for REO Speedbuggy. Yup, the future belongs to them. They comin' right out of "ol Hickory. 

 An’ we’ll live in town an’ go to pitchers whenever, an’ – well. I’m gonna have an ‘lectric iron! an’, the baby’ll have all new stuff. An’ I thougt-well, I thought maybe we could all go in town, an’ when Connie gets his store – maybe Abe could work for him.”

 Sweet 16!!

Jim Casey Prays for Tippecanoe

I got thinkin’ how Tippecanoe division was  holy when we it was one thing, an’ mankin’ was holy when it was one thing. An’ it on’y got unholy when one mis’able little fella got the bit in his teeth an’ run off his own way, kickin’ an’ draggin’ an’ fightin’, jes like Horton Heat. Fella like that bust the holi-ness. But when they’re all workin’ together, not one fella for another fella, but one fella kind of harnessed to the whole shebang—that’s right, that’s holy, like yer Wilco or yer Lou Reed.

 Now I ain't a say'n that all ye critters should look toward this division for light and holiness, but if all man kind and all dem famblies want to feel like, well... Remember when we all et those pan bones, and crispy parts of the hog we slaughtered afore we set out? It's like that see. Sometimes ya gotta slip Grandpa a little dark medicine to get him a-goin' and sometimes he jes shows up.   I aint really a preacher no more, but by God, let's all pray for Tippecanoe, and pass me some mo that pan a bones, extra crispy. 

Sandy Out: 

7-Cage the Elephant falls to 10-Niko Case.  Sandy got a high 7-seed in the Star Wars and promptly fell to former Champion Niko Case.   I even warned her that Niko Case plays hard in Star Wars.  Some teams do that.  Sandy took the loss in usual fashion.

"Im sad that Cage the Elephant didn't stomp on Niko's Case's face"-----Sandy Ewing.

TV's Frank rides Elephant in mockery while Sandy was no where near Oakland.  "I said what I mean, and I mean what I said...and Niko Case won and the elephant's dead."

Star Wars Opening Ceremonies:  Tony Signore Takes Stage With Dark Vader

Ewing Angered at Ween, Zevon for early exits

   How many times has this happened to you?  You painstakingly get your good teams into some good spots only to see them fall to a bunch of commie morons?  "Lots", said Ewing.  "Zevon lost to the ^&%$ little pixies cups and Ween went out to the upstart Civil Wars.  "I don't really cotton to teams that I want to win show up and go through the motions.

  In other news, guest groups have been popping off publicly causing embarrassment to league officials.  Ruth Blauaw has been labeled as a 'trouble-maker', supposedly flipping off Tony Signore when she learned that her goofy boy band Backstreet Direction, was not allowed in due to really poor musical songs.  She quickly went on Mr Facebook and spouted off really bad vocally.  We are preparing punishment at press time and things do not look good at all.  She may get points.  She may be kicked out for a year.   I'm hearing rumours of Abe leaving his team too.  In a few hours I'll meet with Tony and go over some supposed violations. 

Ruth did something like this, I guess....



  Captain & Tennille out again.  I'd like to look it up, but I don't know if they have ever won a single game in Star Wars history. 

 Ewing hangs on to the fact that George Harrison and Chris Rhea seem to have produced good squads beating lots of teams like the lotus flower in a china shop, said The Chinaman. 

 

Billy Jack:  "Oh I can't believe the Civil Wars took out Ween."  I feel like kicking the Civil Wars in the face with my boot."

Fries and Whispers - Confessions of a member of Murder, Inc.

Out of the fog...into the smog.  Lalonde's Squad of E-Streeters, led by Center Bruce "Set-Shot" Springsteen, rode into Old Hickory and sent Tony "Mphff" Signore's Dwight Yoakam team back to the woodshed with an 81-72 victory.  "We smoked them like a ham," Lalonde told the SWI network following the whupping.  "Man eating cottage fries, like horse with no name adrift on lotus blossom," said CM, SWI regional television color-man.  Signore was no where to be found, until a janitor opened an unused broom closet, profusely apologizing for bothering him as Tony stuffed his face with massive quantities of fried potatoes, or, as Signore calls them:  "Life essence."

Tom Joad Spouts Off!

If there was a law, they was workin' with maybe we could take it, but it ain't the law. They're workin' away our spirits, tryin' to make us cringe and crawl, takin' away our decency. Ya hear me DeFranco Fambly,  Ma baking 'em Sunday mornin' biscuits right nice, like a fella can taste it clear to his bones. I been knowin' sumpin strong about the Lou Reed pret' near a year now. White light? Yeah white heat boy. I jes wanna walk around with a fist full o' dem California grapes. i knowed them Lou Reed fellas be always talkin bout being on the wil' side, but ain't nobody close in the "Ol Hickory. Hell, even if the REO Speedbuggy feelin the pinch. 
That Casy. He might have been a preacher but he seen things clear. He was like a lantern. He helped me to see things clear. That Wilco bunch been comin around these parts since I was young enough to eat a toad. Ain't got no sense, no how. Preacher say Wilco walk through Stonewall like a hot knife through lard, well, he knows it, boy. 
Rest of them brackets? Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too.
