Platt asked February 10th:

You suggesting Robert Pirsig is a fan of Mick Jagger?

Ant McWatt comments:

Oh yes… a big fan and of Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Alice Cooper and Marilyn 
Manson too!  :-)

Seriously, Platt, I don’t really know Pirsig’s opinion about Mick Jagger et 
al but I think the issue highlighted by the quote (that Arlo pointed out) 
from LILA about the cruise ship singer following the static safety of cover 
versions rather than Dynamically risking original songs is the important one 
here.

Sometimes a cover version of a classic can be nice to listen to but if 
that’s all people ever performed or listened to then music would never 
develop and eventually stagnate.

Best wishes,

Anthony.


P.S. Despite your supportive posts, I’m very relieved to hear that you 
didn’t go as far as buying Barry Mall-demon’s covers album.
