Interesting Cover

John Legend covering “Pride (In the Name of Love).”

Quite obviously, there’s a reason I’m noting the video today.

    First the chills running up my spine.
    Then the hair standing up on my neck and head.
    Then the tears.

    Thanks for sharing that, John.

    Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

  3. Bitter says:

    Um, hijacking the thread for a moment, Do you know if we doing International Pixel Stained Technopeasant day this year?

  4. Janiece says:

    Very nicely done. I’ll have to catch the History Channel special…

  5. John Scalzi says:

    Bitter: No idea. I think it’s probably not necessary.

  6. Becky says:

    Wow.

  7. Adelheid says:

    Very moving. Thank you.

    I can’t believe Obama is courting Rev Wright on this MLK death day. This can’t be good for his campaign:

    Very funny, Greyheck.

    I doubt Rev. King would have much use for Pastor Wright.

  11. John Scalzi says:

    Let’s move on from that particular subject.

  12. comatus says:

    Did anyone happen to notice that there were two MLK days this year? You could look it up.

    Guess the first one wasn’t at the right point in the election cycle…

  13. Djscman says:

    Is the History Channel showing more music videos than MTV now?

  14. John Scalzi says:

    Since MTV doesn’t actually seem to show videos anymore, yes.

  15. Jason says:

    Wow. Thank you. I’ve always believed that a good cover should be a decent rendition of the song, respectful of the original material, yet building on whatever the new artist’s strengths are. That was beautiful.

    Was the History Channel’s “originally by U2″ tag really necessary?
