just kidding :)  but seriously...

My view is that when 2 bands release the exact same song at the same
time, they end up competing against one another, intentional or not.  I
can't believe that Brendan Benson would make more money by having a
writing credit on a possible hit than if HIS own version of the song
became popular.

In any event, as has been explained, the 2 groups are friends/etc, but I
still feel it takes away from his release.  As Bill said before, agree
to disagree/etc.
