Yes, blame Janet Jackson. But at least they didn't trot out all those tweeners who pretended to know and care about The Who.
Working in a record store prepares a person to know who The Guess Who are, but 9.5 out of 10 will turn the title of the band's name into an Abbott and Costello skit and think they invented that joke, while having never heard of them. They will know the Kravitz version (like anything remade and everything seems to be either sampled or remade nowadays), but will be unsure that it originated somewhere else. Nothing upsets me more than listening to Sheryl Crow sing "The First Cut Is The Deepest", anyone doing "Bohemian Rhapsody" or Celine Dion singing AC/DC.
And I would appreciate it if Memory Lane not send me more e-mails than they already do.
