I'm getting a little concerned about this ridiculous debacle with Chris and "Walk the Line." It would be a ridiculous shame if there was enough of a backlash of his fans not voting for him because of this. I haven't sat down to review the Tivo, but I was really, really under the impression that he *did* say something about it being a version by someone else (as opposed to trying to make it out to be all his own version).
I don't think he ever claimed it as his own arrangement, did he? I'm not worried. Look at how everyone was convinced that Chicken Little was going to be buk-buk-buk-ack next week. Instead the little fella went back to the roost.;^)
I'm having way too much fun with these chicken analogies.
Hetty,
I really would not worry about it too much. Chris has plenty of support and his fan base is only growing in size.
The media read a few post off the AI boards from people who do not wish to see Chris move ahead. The media ran with it and made it sound like Chris was actually losing his fan base. I have been all over the internet looking around for blogs, websites, forums, etc., that have been set-up for Chris and AI. The positive comments about Chris and his version of I Walk The Line out weighs the negativity by leaps and bounds.
Hi, Hetty :) I agree. But this seems to be much ado about nothing. As far as I know, Chris never said, "This is my version"--he said something like, "This is different from the Johnny Cash version."
So far this seems to be an Internet-bred controversy--I haven't seen or heard anything about this from an actual news source.
