Recently, Monsieur Lama et moi had an argument in the car regarding cover songs. This is no surprise, as Signor Lama and I disagree about pretty much all things music. He hates anything that came after 1973, with the exception of U2, and I live for 90s alt-rock, no matter how dead and gone it may be. These particular tastes might perfectly explain the subject of our disagreement: Turn the Page, by Bob Seger, and its cover, by Metallica. “I hate this cover,” Gospodin Lama has complained on a regular basis. “I like it,” I would respond, which really does not make for stimulating conversation. “But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the original.”
