It’s hard. It’s very, very, very very hard…to choose among the great songs that have made it to round four of Who Madness. But choose you must, one champion from each of the brackets. I’ll keep this one open until I get home from rehearsals Monday night, so sometime after 9:00 p.m. PDT on 4/21. Let’s see action!

**Pete Townshend bracket**

1. I Can’t Explain  
vs.

2. Baba O’Riley  
**Roger Daltrey bracket**

3. I Can See for Miles  
vs.

4. Behind Blue Eyes
