Indeed. I love the Fleetwood Mac version, but Santana just took it to a new level.

A few quickly come to mind:

Santana’s cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Black Magic Woman”

Manfred Mann’s cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Blinded by the Light”

Michael Andrews and Gary Jules’ cover of Tears For Fears’ “Mad World”

Excellent! If it’s only half as good as Catastrophic Diplomacy, it’ll still be twice as good as most books I read.

(And I strongly suspect it will be far better than half as good!)

Congratulations. I’m looking forward to it.
