Bah. It's the kind of thing Spinal Tap would play while prancing around their 3-foot Stonehenge. Except that, if Spinal Tap played it, it wouldn't be quite so bad."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George Carlin -
It's one of the most awesome songs ever.Comment

Hotel California is not the worst song ever. It's a great song. It's just hugely overplayed.
I'll have to check out some of these cover songs.Comment

I liked Marylin Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams" (originally by Eurythmics).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)Comment

Yeah, me too, the trouble is, that every song he does sounds the same. 'Five to one' (Doors Song) is no different from 'Sweet dreams'.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
