I heard Bruce Johnston's I write the songs for the first time a few days ago. I think David Cassidy recorded it first so can it count as a cover version even though he wrote it?

Robin Evans 3,150 Report post Posted March 29 Whilst the byrds far excelled Dylan's version of mr tambourine man, I prefer Athur's original version of this.... but the damned covered it very well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyrone Shoelaces 970 Report post Posted April 1 I saw The Crying Shames once at my local fire station/dance hall. They were about 2 or 3 numbers into their set when all of a sudden they stopped playing and started packing away their equipment ! I was stood near the front, by the stage, once I looked around there was a mass brawl going on behind me. I suppose they had a contract that allowed them to bail out in the event of trouble. What the brawl was all about I never did find out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
