I love Joe's take on RS. Yes it's been done and done but there's some real emotion in there.

I won't co-sign the second part, necessarily, but for sure the first.

I’m not even sure if I’m co-signing it. I might go for All In a Day.

All In a Day always struck me as a Strummer doing BAD song. Which is to say that it's good.

Damn, missed the vote on this. I have a soft spot for the RS cover because of the video. Love the part at the end where it goes to the “won’t you help to sing” and cuts to all that live Joe footage.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'm glad you added that shifty emoji you out and out lunatic.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
