Many of the great ones were parodied, honored or trashed by other
artists either covering their works or with "new" songs that have
an unmistakeable sound of a certain band or artist....or
are they pale imitations?
Dylan and Beatles maybe got honored or parodied most, Donovan
got it quite a bit too....any you know of? I'm not talking
covered the way the Byrds or Baez covered Dylan (etc) but actually
parodied or imitated the sound of a Dylan or Beatle song.
Arthur definitley got the Dylan sound with "Bummer In The Summer",
but was it a tribute or did he just like that rapping sound?
Arthur certainly did not need to imitate anyone. He was as unique
as they come....he imitated or honored Hendrix a few years later....
Tom Rapp won a talent contest as a kid, beating out a young Robert
Zimmerman. So is this a Dylan tribute or parody or just plain fun?
I LOVE IT!
