I love covers. For example, I really like covers of Bob Dylan songs – but never the originals. This brings me to Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt’ – It’s amazing! I had the original on one of my alternative tapes back in high school and I never actually paid any attention to it. If anyone had asked me what I thought of NIN I would have said that I’ve never heard anything by them (my tape that I listened continuously for at least a year had a DJ saying ‘this was NIN with “Hurt”) and I never cared until I heard Cash’s version and went crazy (also wondering why the song is so familiar). Neat eh?
