Howyadoin, Covers… Honeydrippers - “Sea Of Love” Graham Parker - “Cupid” Soundgarden(?) - “Time” (old Joe Jackson tune) RHCP - “Highest Ground” Semi-cover… Dread Zeppelin - “Heartbreaker Hotel” Anti-cover… James Taylor (ridin’ the horse waaay too long at this point) doing “Light My Fire”… By the end of the song he was just yelping “FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!”… I only wish. I’d love to find this to send it to my enemies as the first aural virus -Rav ---

A few I’m fond of; Juliana Hatfield doing Weezer’s “Say it ain’t so” Radiohead covering Pink Floyd’s “Wish you were here” I also saw Live in concert and they ended their set with a rocked up version of John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Very spiffy. ---

There have been two (at least) good ones of the Beatles’ _I Am The Walrus_ - one performed a number of years ago by Leo Sayer, and more recently by Jim Carrey (yes, _THAT_ Jim Carrey). And while I’m on the subject of Beatles tunes, has anyone else heard Tina Turner’s version of _Come Together_? I’ve tried and tried, but have had no luck whatsoever in finding the soundtrack to **All This And World War II** on CD - was released (I’m guessing) sometime in the mid-70’s. I have it in its original 2-LP VINYL version, but my CD player balks when I threaten to stuff those old things in there! Never The Bride did a passable job with Led Zeppelin’s _Going To California_. Page & Plant outdid themselves when they took the caffeine jolt out of _Nobody’s Fault But Mine_, but since they were half of Led Zeppelin, does that really count as a cover? ---
