Covers That Outdo the Original

John's way of singing reminds me of rustling autumn leaves. Funnily enough, Frusciante is Italian for rustling, amongst other similar definitions. So, it's marvellous how destiny gave him a surname that ended up reflecting his artistry or his art personified in his name, if that makes sense.

Thanks so much for adding this wonderful perspective



Cheers! Have a great day, and good to see you Encia!

This one's a bit in reverse; Clapton's "Knocking on Heaven's Door" is the maybe the best known, but I still prefer the original:
