I'd like to compile a list. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S.

My favorite covers are not karaoke performances, the artists make the covered song into their own. Enough so that fans have no idea some of these songs are actually covers. Satisfaction- DEVO (Rolling Stones) Hurt- Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails) California Man- Cheap Trick (The Move) You Really Got Me- Van Halen (THe Kinks) (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding- Elvis Costello & The Attractions (Nick Lowe) The Alabama Song- The Doors (Brecht/Weil) "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

There's a Russian group, Leonid & Friends, that does an amazing job with old Chicago tunes. Here's an example... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
