This has led me to the idea for a series of articles: juxtapositioning cover songs with the original. It’s also a well known fact that I love a good cover AND I love juxtaposition. It is my responsibility to put Rock and Roll, or whatever music that inspires me, in the soul of everyone who will listen. I also believe that is my mission, nay, my duty to share said music. However, I do believe that God did, in fact, give us Rock and Roll. I am committed to going beyond Rock, into Classical, Rap, World Beat, Country, or whatever else inspires me.
