Of course I race back to the board to get a read on Lynne’s comment.

“Is Caroline going to break up with me?” I ask.

S-H-E I-S U-N-H-A-P-P-Y, the Ouija answers.

“But what did I do?”

This time the question remains unanswered.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

2/72

Usually an original song is hands down better than the cover version, but in a few cases a cover takes on a life of its own and actually improves on the original. Such is the case with Hendrix’s cover of Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” It changed the way Dylan thought about the song too, and after Hendrix died, Dylan only played it Jimi’s way. Other great covers: José Feliciano’s version of the Doors’ “Light My Fire.” You’d think violins would trash it, but they work. And Janis Joplin belting out Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee” defines the word classic. He didn’t know she’d covered his song till he heard it the day after she died. “Me and Bobby McGee” is only the second posthumous #1 single in rock history--but I’m not telling you what the other one was.
