If they want to do there own thing, why don't they do their own thing, instead of fucking up someone else's thing?

Damn Bruce - don't be angry

Many bands cover other songs and in the process make it into something new - It's a great way to hear new things in an old song.

Everyone loved Cash's interpretation of "Hurt" - right?

I thought they brought something new to the song. I really thought it was soft and beautiful. When Tony and I listened together - he agreed. He said there were changes and nuances that were in the original song but brought more to light in the cover.

It's just a matter of what makes you happy. I like the creativity.

I'm not angry. Playing covers is an old and honorable tradition, but what they're doing isn't playing a cover, adding their own nuances, with respect to the original. They are taking someone else's song, and completely re-purposing it, which is more akin to plagiarism, than covering. It's legal and shit, but it ain't right.
