..against this kind of thing: The new Jimmy Buffett album is called "Weather With You", and, you guessed it, the title song is a cover of the great Crowded House song. And, the new Duncan Shreik best of is going to be called "Brighter/Later"! Now that's really offensive...what is the message there? That Duncan is Nick Drake incarnate? Fat f-ing chance, Dunkie poo! | ||

Belinda Carlisle did a pretty mundane if not down right awful cover of the Crowded House song She Goes On, changed the title to He Goes On and gender of the lyrics as well. It's on her last album from 10 years ago, A Woman And A Man. | ||

But it helps pay the bills for deserving songwriters when more famous but artistically vacant performers cover their songs. Someone here mentioned recently about Ian Hunter thanking Barry Manilow in concerts and interviews for covering "Ships." | ||

Which was she, the woman or the man? Kurt is right. Money in the pockets of our heroes is a good thing, especially if it gets there from no crime of their own. And if you know well enough to cover a really good song, can you be truly artistically vacant? I didn't know Jimmy Buffet was still alive. Who is Duncan Shreik? |
