No idea who's covering it but i'm a fan of the original and it's a pretty good cover.....actually, I should confess to having a larger than is socially acceptable soft rock 7" collection, and I don't mean the good stuff, i'm talking Cutting Crew, Whitesnake, Foreigner. I'm a sucker for a big overblown soft rock ballad.....
BTW, anyone else having trouble getting on the Boxstr website?? My Safari is not opening it

ReplyDeletedid you know the drummer from toto died in a bizarre lawnmower incident. TRUE FACT!
ReplyDeleteblimpy - I have to know more, and I have two questions for you:
