i don't mean that it's bad.. I love all of the songs i"ve mentioned.. It's just sometimes it's really funny to find quotes from different artist's stuff..
it's like "hey, i know what Jon was listening to - the day he wrote it !"

well to be honest.. he can even cover such a simple and obvious song as "stand by me" with his vocals and he brings magic to the game..

In my opinion he crossed the line only once - with august 7. Especially that
the band covered the song on the these days tour - just before he started to work on destination record. He even played the same guitar solo he once performed on rockin' in the free world during the concerts..
