"Real"

If she's raising money for an important cause, then she can cover Bob Dylan all day.

I'd say it's the only part of my post actually necessary. Your posts make it seem like I am posting just for you and your beliefs and outlook on musical acts. We covered the Amnesty International angle in the first news post about this project. The one actually about the project, not me just dicking around. I get you don't like it. That registered. My response is that I'm going to do it anyway if I feel like it ... it's not mean to be taken seriously.

I never said she can't cover Bob Dylan. I said I get a laugh out of her doing it.

They really dont that the same way it was done here. I read it every day. They usually don't dangle and bait. They will, however, run crazy headlines like Jack White working with ICP.

This is true.

One of my favorite Dylan covers is James Mercer doing Spanish Harlem Incident.

RepliesWithGifs is a pretty decent gimmick, I think.

The Byrds doing "My Back Pages" is a really underrated one. As is Peter Paul and Mary doing a reggae-fied "Forever Young."

Oh for sure. All the old Bytes Dylan covers are ace and they stay true to the originals for the most part.

Lol, what? Holy hyperbole, Batman. I'm arguing one very specific instance that bothered me, as well as a few others - in a music community. If I had ever argued so much as one other thing with you in the past, maybe that comment would make some sense. You used your site to reinforce the fact that you dont like Ke$ha over reminding readers that there's a good collection of songs on sale to benefit a great organization. Even if Alex already made a post about it. Agree to disagree on all this, I suppose.

hi Chris

thought it was a cool take on it. definitely people overreacting to it being Ke$ha who sang. if the video title said it was like...Alanis Morissette there'd be way more positive comments

Both takes are cool.

Have a suspicion half the people in this thread didn't listen.

I feel like the Civil Wars could do this style of the song really well

Thread took a nosedive when people started getting serious.
