Music.

You see, I'm one of those people who seem to appreciate the more original things in life. I'm sure if I was at all up to date with fashion or sport then I definitely wouldn't appreciate a fake Prada bag or a copy of a Liverpool jersey. But one thing I DO appreciate is music; good, strong, original music. I don't like covers of songs. Simple as. Never have and never will. Actually I hate them.

So, the aggravation that I feel when i hear of what I believe to be some of the greatest tunes of all time being covered by some little shitty teenybopper with no respect or appreciation for music in the slightest, is not a pretty sight. I've been known to walk out of a bar if I hear a dj play a remix to what WAS an amazing tune. My bedroom is so full of old classics like Elvis and Buddy Holly that my poor mother has to step over the records when she braves her way in every now and again to make sure that there's still life amongst the shiny vinyl in the darkness.

Unfortunately, both Elvis and Buddy, along with many more of my all time favorite musical heroes have had the bad luck to have their best somgs covered by what I would not only call an amature but also, completely deaf and above all, deluded individuals who seem to believe that they could POSSIBLY cover the track better than the original artist. What a shame!

One thing I do know though, poor Elvis and Buddy would be turning in their well preserved, well deserved million dollar graves.
