[Rockin’ 1000 covering Learning to Fly by the Foo Fighters.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JozAmXo2bDE) In terms of sound, pretty good. In terms of size & scope, freaking amazing. As for the video, I think this is my favorite YT clip ever. ---

The thread about _The musical artist you should love… but can’t get into_ just reminded me of this. Born To Run by Springsteen - preposterous overblown bollocks. [Born To Run](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMfE2Se4r9w) by Frankie Goes To Hollywood - a fantasy in a Liverpool Dole Office - _ **Hah!** _ - NOW it’s operatic. NOW it makes sense. Put me on dally signing? _I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight, in an everlasting kiss…_ A classic. j ---

> [@blondebear](#): > > Sammy Hagar got a little butthurt that Rick Springfield’s cover of [“I’ve Done Everything For You”](https://youtu.be/4ryAdaqYkFA) was a bigger hit than his original. Get over yourself, Sam. Cite? This is just not true. Capitol Records was butthurt that it was not a hit for Sammy. They released it 4 times as a live track, a studio single, a B-side, and then again on a compilation album in 1982 to capitalize on Springfield’s cover after Sammy bolted to Geffen Records. Sammy jokes that Rick Springfield had the benefit of looks, his acting career, and MTV but he’s not really serious, besides he made good money off Springfield’s cover. In fact, he and Rick are good friends, they’ve performed together and are partners in Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum company. > [@River\_Hippie](#): > > I posted this [cover of Rush’s “Subdivisions” by Jacob Moon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4vd9OVLO7Q) in older threads but I think it well deserves a re-post. I was gonna post this as well. It is awesome in it’s own right but really highlights how great Rush’s songwriting was. ☹ ---
