- if you wanna praise singer-songwriters, how about tom waits, nick cave, bruce springsteen, johnny cash, willie nelson, etc...?
right on, brothers and sisters. Off the top o me head, I might add will oldham, chuck d, bob dylan, neil young, geeshie wiley, charley patton, king buzzo, the carter family, willie dixon, memphis minnie.... dadgummit. fuck eminem in the ear. and all you have to do is listen to Jiimie Dale Gilmore's interpretation of 'Baghavan Decreed' to know how valid singing someone else's song is. Or Billie Holiday doing 'Strange Fruit'. Shit. and, man, that Scotty Moore can play. --crawmote _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
