And I guess some people are fantastic interpreters of other people's songs, I'm thinking here of Mary Black and Christy Moore...even though they don't write a lot themselves, and then there are brilliant songwriters who sing their own stuff, and you can't imagine anyone doing a better job - Bruce Springsteen's 'The River' or Bob Dylan's 'Masters of War'... I think it's gonna have to be a case-by-case basis...
