When musical groups like this (or “Postmodern Jukebox) do classy and classical reinterpretations of contemporary pop and rock tunes, they create absolute Gold.👍👍

[@gymnosophy]

I disagree. While I respect the artists here, I think they co-op the writers original message and distort it and cosy it up.

[@jaimey.9149]

​@@gymnosophy ummm... Something to ponder. Thanks.

[@IUBOSSFAN]

@@gymnosophy I agree with you completely. Bruce wrote a masterpiece detailing the utter despair of someone suffering from both AIDS, and the discrimination inherent in that diagnosis. This cover offers none of that.

The mood in and around this performance is unbelievable. The Sax was brutal and I absolutely loved it!

[@PhillyReese215]
