Near the end of November I posted about Stairway to Heaven, amusing myself by saying what an overrated song it is. Then I heard a version (I don't like the term "cover") by Rodrigo y Gabriela. These guys are fucking amazing guitarists. They used to be members of a thrasher band and have gone acoustic. The album is not just awesome, it is awe-inspiring.
In any case, their version of Stairway really portrays a delicate and jazzy version, I think perhaps true to the original intent. It made me reconsider my earlier smart-guy posturing and rant-o-matic post. Even music that does not grab you is still music.
