    Hmmm. Del Shannon was 36 when he released "Runaway" in 1960. So, 20 years later, you're saying that's not a cover.

    You are correct. It is a re-issue. But it doesn't count cuz he was 50-something when he did it.

    Consider this metaphor:

    Man what the heck...……..:):

    OK, CM. I will ask you for a ruling.

    If the Shangri-La's got together tomorrow and recorded "Leader of the Pack"....is that a re-issue of a 1964 Classic, or is it a "new" song.

    The inhouse lawyer is sayin' that Del Shannon's 1986 recording of "Runaway" makes it a new song and therefore, he can't possibly be a boomer.

    Man her face always throws me off.....:)

    If the original artist cuts a new version it is a re-issue. If you and I get together and cut a tape it is a cover******,,Heaven forbid,

    All I said is 2 things:

    1) I learned about "Runaway" from the intro to Crime Story in 1986, and

    2) Del Shannon recorded the version of "Runaway" used for the intro. By definition, a recording by the original artist is not a cover.

    My values and comportment would place me closer to "The Silent Generation" (of which my parents were and are members) rather than the Boomer generation.

    Heck, I see all those Boomers memeing about "Keep you hands off my Social Security" and Millenials trying to go full socialist and I realize that if these 2 generations ever realize how much they have in common, the rest of us are screwed.
