Do you feel this way about all cover songs or just this one? Cover songs are generally meant as a way to honor the original artist and song. Combs always lifted Tracy up as the one deserving credit for the song. It was a tribute to her and the fantastic song that he covers it, bringing not only a new generation of fans to her song, but also from a different genre that might not have otherwise heard the song. I'm not sure why you say he "was enjoying the benefits of her song" as if in a vacuum where she received no attention or money.

I'm trying to think of another cover song that would tick the same boxes, but nothing is coming to mind. This one was rather unique - not only now but when it was released in 1988. I remember it quite clearly and like Daehawk, I remember absolutely hating it. Granted, I was 14 and in the throes of testosterone, but it really was like nothing else on the MTV (and it was on MTV quite a bit). Sure, there were plenty of other songs in the Top 40 that were slow, but nothing like this. It wasn't until I was much older that I heard the song again and was blown away.

Combs absolutely benefited directly from the cover; she benefited indirectly - until Sunday night.

I am unaware of how he's been presenting the situation up until Sunday night, but I absolutely agree that during the performance he seemed to just as amazed as the rest of us.

I admit I wasn't a fan of Luke Combs cover either (heck, I'm still not), but primarily because this song was such a personal reflection of black queer America, something Luke Combs is decidedly not a part of. If you didn't know the backstory, it could be interpreted as cultural appropriation.

However, the story he gave at the Grammys, Tracy's endorsement of the cover, and his clear respect for her has greatly softened my dislike of it.

That's where I'm at. Although I have read that she's cleared about 500 grand in royalties thanks to Combs' version, which is nice. She deserves it.

You may think the story of the blue LED is a simple one...but it is far far from that and it is very interesting too.

I was referring to the video on LEDs, not your video on women doing yoga. I was pleasantly surprised that you posted something that didn’t make me feel like I should be registering as a sex offender in my neighborhood.

That was a fun trip down memory lane. From 1988 to 1990 I was a grad student at UF working on the surface science of metal semiconductor junctions. I never worked with GaN but was working on AlInGaP (mostly) which is a direct band gap semiconductor with a band gap suitable for blue light emission. I guess I'm the anti-Shuji; I found the work interesting but I bowed out to get married instead.

+1. Some of his bits work better than others...this one sounds exactly like every sports broadcast that ever impinges on my awareness. Since I automatically tune sports out, I closed this video halfway through. It was too successful.

Very cool. I got to tour a Virginia-class nuclear sub that a buddy of mine was serving on back in 2008. I was completely unprepared for how tight the quarters were. Just reaffirmed my life choice of not going into the Navy sub program. :lol:

I know they pay better but seeing that..no thnx. The thought of being in a sub in subfreezing water and it is tilted sliding down down and wondering if it hit bottom are you stuck or will it implode and such. Ugh.

Also we found our new Indiana Jones!..what? CBS wont let him?..ok call that Harrison guy then....hehe. I actually did like Selleck as an action guy in High Road to China back in the day.

It wasn't my thing, but doubtlessly I listen to a lot things Daehawk would think suck, and doubtlessly you listen to a lot of things I would think suck. I just generally don't go around pointing it out to people in such an overtly insulting manner.

That is, I think, a topic for another thread, but we've covered it pretty extensively in said threads. Short version: Maybe sorta, but they're still working on it. I'd suggest reading the other threads if you want to full story.

Sadly, no. But I'm an idealist, and believe that there's a difference between respecting someone and treating someone with respect.

Don't take it so seriously, I tried to make my tone clear with the wink and smile. In any case, I'm sorry you were offended - and I'm sorry if Daehawk feels disrespected.
