This, while expected, is not good news, the fair tiered justice system in the US of A, and you know they already have my signature but what about yours...
Yesterday I was listening to a bunch of cover versions of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" (I count eight different tracks on my iTunes and I expect there are a couple others floating around as well) and no two ways about it, it's a great song. So I can understand why a lot of people want to cover it...
But good covers always bring something new to the song whether it be a radical new interpretation or just a slight off kilter tweak... Clone covers, on the other hand, no matter how well done, always come up being less, empty, and depressing... you have to wonder why they bothered.
I mention this because designers of sailboats could learn a lot about not doing the same old same by listening to how a singer or band can take a song and make it their own...
Especially those guys designing cats...
Listening to the Kingston Trio do a much covered song
So it goes...
