I agree there are few things worse than hearing a song you love get an unsympathetic reading, or one which misses the point but am interested in the possibility that there are songs which are robust enough to make that imposssible. I'm not convinced though. The original post still came up with an exception for the song in question and I'm more inclined to think that a somesongs will bring music out of the most surprising people but that some people can kill even the most wonderful song.
