I'm cool with both. In this case the vocals are so true to the original from decades ago that I'm blown away. Not sure if the singer is a 'Karen Carpenter' tribute singer or a singer that nailed a tribute to her. I suspect the latter but could be wrong.
Completely agree on pros/cons of 'bringing new life' to covers. To each their own, my wife isn't a fan but I think this is great:
Oh no, I don't believe it
You say that you think you know the meaning of love
You say love is all we need
You say with your love you can change
All of the fools, all of the hate
I think you're probably out to lunch
Strange to me that a Steeler fan thinks that Diggs could be the last piece of the puzzle to solidify their WR room while a Bills fan wants to remove the best piece of the puzzle in our WR room - presumably because of tweets.
It's worse than that - Red Wings have lost 7 straight. Meanwhile my Islanders have been shutout twice in a row after they won 6 straight. I had left them for dead before the win streak, then was high as a kite last weekend - it's a roller coaster.
Still time for the Sabres to make a playoff push when your chasing teams like the Red Wings and Islanders.
I'm sure I've shared this before, but I just found out that Dweezil is touring again and it's likely he'll play this so forgive me.
One of my guilty pleasures is Frank's extended guitar solos. Dweezil crushes this one imo:
Just learned that Dweezil will be playing at my local venue celebrating the Apostrophe and Roxy Live albums - happy to see that whatever legal impediments to playing Frank's music have been overcome. Dweezil has always been cool about highlighting his Dad's albums from anniversary years and these were both from 1974. Can't wait.
And then I have a conundrum. On May 3 I had every intention of seeing Queensryche and Armored Saint at the same local venue as Dweezil with my heavy metal friends. Just found out that the Scofflaws (local ska band with a modicum of success but mostly unknown) will be playing the same night at a local bar. There's a venn diagram of friends who would go to both, gotta figure that one out.
This is a few weeks old - and maybe belongs in a baseball blooper thread - but since it's 2024 spring training Yankees and happened while Boone was doing an in-game interview I'm putting it here.

BTW, doesn't bother me in the least that they were playing the Mets. Good times.
I'm so disappointed that injuries took away such a great and fun Bill from us.
I remember sharing a clip of some of Tre's on-field antics with a Jets fan and he thought it was awesome. Good times.
