Maybe it is just because I am more familiar with the Tommy James version, but to me , it was a much better version. Always enjoyed laying around the lake shore with my lady and listening to that song.

Looks like you caught some great weather, nice sunset pic. Was your trip fairly recent? It looks like the column had undergone its paint upgrade in your pic. Had hoped to get a new sig panorama from the top but the stairs are under construction for another few weeks. Today's view of the bridge   |

I prefer the Tommy James one also, prolly cuz I wore the 8 track out in high school. |

We rode through Oregon on our 2-month trip in 2003. It's a beautiful state, and the drivers seemed to watch out for us better than most states. We loved the diversity of the geography. We did stay off of the interstates. At some point, I will post a daily series of pics showing each day of the trip and telling what happened. Here are a couple of favorites.  John Day Fossil Beds  Breakfast in Service Creek, OR  Bake Oven Road  Fort Clatsop |

Well, Tommy James it the sentimental favorite, bringing back childhood memories, but Joan Jett really rocks it!  Joan gets my vote! |

Both are good, but after watching the different ways they present the song, I think one accessory I'm missing, is Joan on the pillion, singing to me  She rocks it Black Dog |

Joan does justice to Crimson and Clover, no doubt about it, but gotta give props to Tommy James and the Shondells. Can't beat the original. |

I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to  |
