Gen X had the pleasure of 2 seasons of "Crime Story"

Pfft. That's a cover. Doesn't count. I had the original on 45. Boomer Wannabe!

Guilty on all counts.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Guilty on all counts.

Your honor, I would like to request that his (Conselor Houghmade) statements be stricken from the record. Irrelevant.

 

[Alpo]

Punishment: Daily Rick-rolls until Christmas.

 

[Vigilant]

Wait, I'm confused, does INGO trust polls again or no?

Only the ones with dancers on them, at least we know they support something.

Del Shannon covering his own song? That’s not how that works. He made a new recording in ‘86 for the show. Original artist, therefore not a cover.

 

[Alpo]

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:

 

[Alpo]

I apologize in advance.

 

[churchmouse]

I apologize in advance.

Man what the heck...……..

 

[Alpo]

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.

 

[churchmouse]

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,

The face!

Okay now, let’s see your angry face. No angrier. Yeah, that’s it. Now fold your arms.

She took a pause from her “Mean Mugg’n” Tour featuring her hit single “How Dare You!” to sail back across the Atlantic.

I stand corrected. Mea culpa. In my defense, it was unrecognizable to me, having grown up with the original.

 

[T.Lex]

Wait.

What about the Slade hit, "Run Runaway"?

That's GenX.

She has a good start on her “Bitter Beer Face”, when she’s old enough to drink beer.

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.

Nah the only recents are mug shots.
