Brittany Spears is a Genius!

Stop laughing! I'm serious here. Consider this...

Muse and I were at a Nickel Creek concert this past weekend and halfway through their show they start talking about a cover they're going to perform. They say it's something they've been listening to and are finally "ready to perform." What do they start to play? Nothing less than "Toxic." I mean, come on. It's a Bluegrass band performing Brittany Spears music. We've already had a punk version of "Hit me One More Time..." She's a genius. She'll be remembered in song for generations to come. Personally, I can't wait for the Riverdance interpretation of "Crazy." But maybe that's just me. It seems that this has amazing potential for Spears to lift her desiccated music career, she can simply sell the rights to all of her songs and let other bands perform them for her. Never mind that Nickel Creek performed the song a billion times better than Brittany ever did, at least her name will be remembered. And in "the biz," that's what is most important anyway, right?
