I just can't answer that question seriously. There are a lot of things we complain about on this board that do far less harm than Bush's foreign policy, of course. As I said, I enjoy overreacting about certain things and this is one of them.

Oh please. People write a lot of ridiculous crap on this board, but this goes up there at the top.

Okay, if you wanna be a jackass about it. I guess it's some honor bestowed upon me and I'd say it's quite a feat, especially considering many of the things Brandon has said in the past.

Stevie apparently doesn't view this as an insult, considering she helped with the recording of the track. Actually, I think covering someone else's material is generally considered a sign of respect.

Is Lohan's cover going to be any good? Probably not. But all this goddess worship crap, "Nobody has any right to ever cover her songs because nobody else could ever be so ineffably wondrously mystically miraculously radiantly brilliant as Steeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" is completely idiotic.

If you think I'm one of those people who thinks Stevie truly is some goddess you really don't know me; the judgments are unwarranted, IMO. I think many singer/songwriters have signature songs that no one else can touch. And that doesn't even necessarily mean they should be viewed as brilliant; it's just that their songs are especially personal.

Of course I can't help but agree that Stevie must not feel insulted because she approved of and apparently participated in it. But that's just one of a few things I know of that I don't particularly like about her. It sounds like a money thing to me and nothing else. I don't have any respect for that. But then my point of view has no bearing on anything, really, though that could be said for all of us on here.

You could tone it down just a tad. I didn't mean to actually have something of an argument over it. Besides, it's just not nice to put a girl down when she does it so often herself. I think I've got that covered. Ah, but then it is "just a message board."
