I like all three versions, but I went with Terry Jacks. Not just because he's Canadian, but I really liked his voice on every song he did. Plus, I love knowing that he wasn't a one hit wonder http://spiffy-entertainment.com/forums2/images/smilies/laugh2.gif
I love the lyric: "I bought all the Beatles records and I tried to sound like Paul. I bought all the Buddy Holly's, the 78s and all"

Prefer Kevin Johnson, but know the Terry Jacks version better (I have the songle somewhere).
The song is a sad eulogy for those whpo never made into the pop scene, and it tells the truth.
