how can people vote for a song Jimmy didn't even write over a song he wrote down island way in his prime? What's wrong - ya'll don't like grape crush and drive in movies down in the Keys?

not a fan of covers. especially from a guy with proven song writing ability. I choose songs he wrote not songs that sound like something he wrote. He played Purple Rain on tour a few years back and Werewolves last year - no need. Just don't get it. But like I always say - to each our own. Watch, BEG and Dukes on Sunday will be up against each other -how will a purist decide?

Please keep your campaigning at least 100 feet from the door to the polling place. :lol:

It's a blow-out, babeeeee! Looks like BR is bringing home the W! Thought it might be a knee-knocker, but Banana Republics is looking like a big time P-T-P'er! Who said cover songs would be cream puffs? Might have to move Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit to my All-Overrated Team! Look out, though, Coconut Telegraph might be waiting in the wings to knock you off your perch!
