Re: cover songs better than the original
A lot of the tunes Johnny Cash covered were better than the originals. On the other hand, George Thorogood's version of "Cocaine Blues" is better.
Most covers of Dylan tunes are pretty bad. They take all the texture and feeling out of the songs. Never been a big Hendrix fan, but "All along the Watchtower" is probably the best cover of a Dylan tune. I still can't say it is better than the original.
