In a time of kneejerk polarization, weaponized identity politics and another country song pitting groups of people against one another (ahem), there’s another way to consider the “Fast Car” resurgence.
But that’s the thing about music fans: They keep being born, farther and farther from the date that I was.
So in honor of “Fast Car,” today’s playlist is a collection of what I’m calling cross-generational covers.
Chapman has stayed out of the public eye in recent years, and even given the unexpected attention to “Fast Car,” she has kept to herself.
I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’” Bless her, and her bank account.
