You’ll never hear the “original artist” perform Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.

Referring to someone’s performance of music written by another person as a “cover” is absurd. The music wants to be played. A performance, or a rearrangement is good. Or bad. Or indifferent. It stands on its own merits.

The “recording industry” produces all manner of poisonous idiocy.

Imagine if William Rogers had to play the piano and Oscar Hammerstein had to sing their scores?
