ummm... mornin boys and girls but am i really the only one who caught the
little teeny note of sarchasm in that post????
the stones? come now you can't really think that J actually thinks of the
rolling stones as an obscure band !!
i'm going to feel like a total ass if i'm wrong but i thought it was a joke
and i thought it was funny

>>>Well, this isn't a rare occurence. Obscure bands or those who are
still trying to make a name for themselves love doing cover songs, but
they choose the b-sides or non-hit songs so that the public perception
will be that it was their own original work. >>>

<<< It is really no surprise to see the Rolling Stones do a
remake of U2's bside, "Paint It Black." It was a good choice though
because U2 never performed it live so the song hasn't really caught on
yet.>>>
