Written by: Andrea JanovRecently I heard that the Gaslight Anthem covered The Beatles' “Come Together”. Over all I am a fan of covers.

Covers also provide fans a different point of connection, we are able to compar

They did Lollapalooza, Glastonbury across the pond, Sasquatch and Monolith back home,
