Danceoff: The Byrds vs. Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man

While I grew up with the Byrds version, I’m going with Dylan on this danceoff. Somebody wake those dudes up, they’re sleepwalking though this song though the soundbite at the end of the video detailing the slapdown by David Crosby on the Ed Sullivan show perks them up just a tad. Wha? […]

Danceoff: Joan Baez vs. Led Zeppelin - Babe, I’m gonna leave ya

What is with me and Zep these days? Zep AND depressing songs? However, I know I have rabid fans for both Zep and Baez so let the danceoff BEGIN! Who kicks this bad boy in the nads and who limps home?

Sleep In John Lennon’s Bed… For Mere Pennies

Lots and lots of mere pennies; 196,100 pennies to be exact. Or a cool $1,969 of the green stuff. The third, and possibly most famous John & Yoko Bed-In was held in Suite 1742 of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel in 1969. And you can stay in that same room if you’ve got the money.

Here Comes the Sun; The Beatles vs. Richie Havens

We’re going to have a few regular post categories each week here at Hippie Sounds — frankly, because I like a little organization. Not everywhere and all the time; but some.
Have you caught on that this is one of those categories? Cool. Enough talk….
Song covers; love them or hate them they’re part of the biz. […]
