"IF YOU EVER TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, DON'T STEP ON ANYTHING"

The Bible teaches us that in Heaven, we get to be reunited with our loved ones who have passed on. But what about the people who didn't die?  I always thought Ashton Kutcher was annoying, unless he was playing Kelso in That 70's Show. He played a great stoner / dumbass. But one of his films always stuck with me. At least the ending did. The Butterfly Effect from 2004 is a science fiction thriller with a sort-of time-travel element to it. Ashton Kutcher's character suffers periodic blackouts where he realizes that he can travel through time.

Who Did It Better? - MxPx vs The Cootees

MxPx released the song "I'm OK, You're OK" on their 1998 album Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo, but did you know that this is actually a cover song?

The Cootees version has more of a raw DIY feel, and features an interesting guitar riff outro. I also think that the background vocals pop out more in The Cootees version.

Do you prefer one version over the other or do you like them both?
