Travesties

Today I lunched at Uncle Sam's (best Cheesesteak ever!) with Jon. While there, I had the misfortune of hearing 311's cover of The Cure's "Lovesong". *shudder* It pained me greatly. Then I was reminded (by Jon) of Puff Daddy's cover of Zeppelin's "Kashmir", and once again, I had to cringe.
Don't these artists have to get permission before doing a cover? What pains me even more is that I KNOW there are people out there who like the covers better...or even worse, have NO IDEA that they're covers at all and just assume they're listening to originals songs.
What's next?
Will Smith does "Lovecats"?
Eminem covering "When the Levee Breaks"?
I shudder to think.....
