Seriously, you people have too much free time on your hands...which is why you've had time to learn so many cover songs!

If you took away cover songs, there goes half of the Led Zeppelin output. Do you really think their version of "Nobody's Fault But Mine" is a carbon copy of the original by Blind Willie Johnson?

And as for copying paintings, make me a copy of a Vermeer that looks exactly like the original. Sure, that's easy!

Has anybody discovered the Child Ballads by Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer? All covers of traditional English ballads, and it's been stuck in my CD player ever since I got it.
