Darn, I really wanted that thing you linked to.

It's OK. In fact, I think everyone would agree that it's been obvious for some time. We've been meaning to say something, but the subject just never came up.

Not utterly horrible.
That takes skill.
'Too bad he kept the chorus.

lafin, Richard's take on that and other covers is the BEST!

Thompson's recording was never meant to be a serious recording - from his site http://www.richardthompson-music.com/catch_of_the_day.asp?id=117
"The idea for this project came from Playboy Magazine - I was asked to submit a list, in late 1999,
of the ten greatest songs of the Millenium. Hah! I thought, hypocrites - they don't mean millennium, they mean twenty years -
I'll call their bluff and do a real thousand-year selection. My list was similar to the choices here on this CD,
starting in about 1068, and winding slowly up to 2001. That they failed to print my list among others submitted
by rock's luminaries, is but a slight wound - it gave me the idea for this show, which has been performed occasionally,
and will hopefully receive a few more airings."
The first time I saw him do the 1000 Years of Music in concert the audience
just about fell out of their seats by the time he got to "Whoops"
RT is one of the all time best live acts to see IMHO
