  1. I just felt like compiling a list of solid covers just as good as the original itself or slightly surpassing it. No judgements here folks because imitation is the highest form of flattery & recognition right? Quality is quality. Feel free to add at your leisure of course. All genres welcome naturally...

      MJ, the King Of Pop, lays down the classic "Billie Jean" below. 

       

       

      Chris Cornell shows us all how to make a signature track his very own. Is there anything this man couldn't do? My God man! Unbelievable...

      The song "Apologize" originally done by One Republic has been covered a lot, which tells you how good a track really is...

       

       

      Here's my personal favorite straight out of Germany from a band called All Ends. The dual female vocalist treatment gives it some teeth. My kinda jam baby. 

       

       

      Country singer Luke Bryan also lays down a decent version of this number as well. [Not displayed here.]

      Everybody has heard the GNR original, therefore, let's change things up a bit with a speak easy jazzy version sung by Casey Abrams instead just for fun shall we...

       

       

      Checkout a band called Thunder & Rain dropping "Sweet Child O' Mine" Bluegrass style on ya. Not bad.

      I like Craig Ferguson because he reminds me of my father meaning you never know what he's going to say. He'd ask the same question to his neighbor, the President, or the Queen of England. He has no filter. He just says whatever pops in his head depending on his mood. Craig is also good at reading people & matching their tempo/body language. Plus, his Scotland stories always crack me up. :) Craig is comfortable in his own skin & what U see is what U get.

      Jimmy Fallon also did a rap song to a Brian William's newscast, but why is this technique only applied to rap & hip hop songs as opposed to rock, blues, reggae, country, or heavy metal? It was clever though. See...

      "Southwest is going to be startled when he gets on tomorrow to find all these notifications." I was pleasantly surprised to see such an full fledged debate here AC17. Nice!!! Space exploration takes time & does have a few longterm benefits. However, cost/benefit wise NASA innovations seldom aids a person's daily life. Latest cutting edge technology=only the filthy rich can afford it.

      This reminds me of when my daughter was only 4. I was driving down the street and watching her in the mirror, in her own little world in the backseat. She was smiling and starring out the window. I asked her "What are you smiling about?"

      She answered ......."candy".

      How awesome is that? To be a child again. That simply thinking about candy could make them so happy.

      Rebates are another rip off too. Send in a receipt/proof of purchase & then wait for an eternity to get a check etc. etc. Just take the discount off the top of the big ticket item okay. Again, not a real deal here or savings either in a timely & prompt fashion either.

      Staples seems to be the best with their rebates. The last two times I bought something that was supposed to have a 10dollar visa gift card attached to it, it arrived in about 10 days. Sure it would be easier just to knock the 10.00 off at the * and let Staples collect it, but I was able to use it elsewhere so that was a plus.

      Hey there Cs4, Nice to hear from ya brother. Ron Wolfley sounds a little bit like the former Minnesota Gov. & co-star of "The Predator" movie when he gets excited over a fabulous LB collision on the AZ field sometimes.  

       

      I only mentioned him since their HC, Bruce Arians, coached the Colts in 2012, while Chuck Pagano received cancer treatments. I usually follow a lot of former INDY players & coordinators etc. etc. I hope you are doing well my man.

      I usually like off the wall play by play commentators because they don't care what fans think of them. They just wanna amuse themselves, laugh at their own shortcomings, & rave about their favorite team as often as possible. 

       

      If I was in Wolf's shoes, I'd be the exact same way. LOL! He knows football though. You can tell.

    To be honest with you, I just wanted an excuse to post songs from the spectacular band Heart because I revere Nancy & Ann Wilson & those timeless riffs & melodic melodies they created. 

     

    Oh, they can bring the house down too make no mistake about that. Am I about to go "Crazy On You?" Absolutely...LOL!

      I have never felt the need to express my feelings on how Women should be treated, as I was seemingly taught differently than some that should know better.

       

       I too posted a tribute to the Wilson Sisters with the heading of, "Yes, girls can rock too!", a few weeks ago.  These songs show that despite anatomical differences that we are all in this together...

      I must have missed your Wilson sister tribute awhile back. My apologies if I stepped on your creative toes brother. It was not my intension to undercut you or minimize your tribute to these 2 iconic siblings in any way my friend. I will go back & check it out. A lot of mesmerizing musicians come from Seattle AKA 'Emerald City' BTW. 

       

      It's cool I get it. When you grew up dictates your vocal treatment of women either thru actions of politeness & kindness or speaking up publicly about the mistreatment of the opposite sex. Yes, I know every guy has commented on a female's attractiveness as they perceive it thru the eye of the beholder. The difference is that unlike 1 Presidential candidate most men I know would never view a woman as a personal possession to mock, ridicule, humiliate, & abuse overall. 

       

      Anyway, thank you for your thoughts RR7 & thank you to all who are gracious enough to put up with my music & movie fetishes. Much obliged.

Strength is measured in character...and you are one of the strongest people that I have ever had the fortune to call my Friend!
