Welcome To Cover Talk
Robin Williams' "Come Together" was surprisingly great. It seems a bit odd at first, but I like it a lot.
The Secret Machines also did a fantastic job at "Blue Jay Way". Those are two of my favorite covers.

Hah, it's pretty humorous when people take things way more seriously than they should.
I myself am a Christian, born and raised in the church, and I don't see John's quip about Jesus as any more than light humor at the band's success in relation to the success of religion. If anything, it's the media's explosion around the out-of-context quote which led to the mass Beatle-burnings across the nation. I don't blame John for having a bit of a laugh, nor do I blame BeatlesRadio for creating a parody of the infamous quote. It's relevant, humorous, and isn't meant to be offensive. Rock on, BR!

Seeing as George Harrison is classified as one of the best guitarists in musical history and Ringo Starr being in the best drummer's category, yes I would say that the Beatles were fantastic musicians. Not only because of their skill, but because of their innovation and creativity. They did things that no one else thought to do which gave the music industry a whole new sound and feel.
I feel that their song-writing and musical talents were about on the same level of greatness.

Topic:
Who's Singing?
When you really listen to the Beatles on a regular basis, it's easy to find out who sings in which songs. I have to say that John and George do sound frighteningly similar though. But if you listen to their songs enough, you can pick out the differences.
You know, short of just wiki-ing the songs to find out who sings them. Lol.

Topic:
Dana Fuch's "Helter Skelter"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhknKwk3V3M
Now, don't get me wrong, I love Dana Fuch's (Across the Universe, fyi) renditions of Oh Darling and Don't Let Me Down, but her Helter Skelter leaves a LOT to be desired. I honestly don't think there's too many people who can pull off a decent cover of Helter Skelter (and honestly, I haven't heard a good one yet), but I have to at least give Dana props for trying. It didn't really go with the flow of the movie and it's just hard to really perform as well as Macca did with that infamous scream of his. Other than Helter Skelter though, I do love her other covers. Including her bits in Dear Prudence and I Want You. Just thought I'd weigh my opinion in since this forum seems a lacking in some life! Let me know if you feel the same/different/what-have-you. I love to hear varying opinions!
