Sculpture Not the Only Thing the Tribune Bracketed

Evidently, each day, the Tribune ran a non-sport related bracketology contest over quite a few Chicago-related subjects. I was unable to get the whole fields up, but did get the final two in each category for which readers could vote. I voted as well.

BANDS-- Chicago Synphony Orchestra 50.1% vs. Smashing Pumpkins 49.9%. I voted for CSO. Here, I would have gone with the band Chicago.

NATIVE PLANTS-- Black-eyed Susan 1479 votes vs. wild columbine 919 votes. I voted for black-eyes susan as my gardens are covered with them.

SCULPTURE-- Cloudgate 64.4% vs. Flamingo 35.6%. I. of course, voted for the Bean, but think it SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LIONS!!!

CHICAGO-RELATED MOVIE-- Blues Brothers 58.1% vs. Ferris Buehler's Day Off 41.9%. I voted Blues Brothers. It is my second all-time favorite movie.

BOOK-- Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" 84.8% vs. Saul Bellow's "The Adventures of Angie Micah" 15.2%. Old illiterate me haven't read either of them, but voted for Sinclair since at least I've heard of it.

CANDY-- Juicy Fruit 46.3% vs. Snickers 53.7%. I voted Juicy Fruit, but would rather have seen Ferrara Pan's Red Hots, my favorite candy.

I sure would like to see all eight entrants in each non basketball bracket.
