Opinion: Luke Combs’ version of “Fast Car” is just one more way to celebrate the genius of Tracy Chapman

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 20:10:55 GMT

Luke Combs has won “Single of the Year” at the Country Music Awards for “Fast Car”; and Tracy Chapman has won “Song of the Year,” the first time for an African American in the organization’s 57-year history. Some folks argue that Luke Combs, reaching the top of the country charts and winning this award is exploitative because she wouldn’t have made it onto the country charts in 1988.I’ve loved Tracy Chapman’s music for a long time.

I knew it would have had unintended consequences and there would have been follow-up legislation or ballot measures to “fix” the mess. Observing the legislature’s slap-dash, let’s get-outta-here-before-Thanksgiving approach, I see the same thing.Before summer the unintended consequences of the current blob of bills will begin to become apparent. Predictably, at that point, Republicans will say, “I told you so,” but their fervent devotion to TABOR wore thin 25 years ago. Yet Democrats are in charge and they should have been better than this.Barry Noreen, DenverRe: “Senate GOP slows rush,” Nov. 18 news storyAgain, we see the Democrats in the Colorado legislature trouncing o...
