Celine covering AC/DC? It's just so wrong. Can the fall of Western Civilization be far behind?

Actually, when you're as old as I am and have lived through a series of forgettable remakes of 60s and 70s tunes, you learn to adjust. Does the remake ever match the original? (Tina Turner's "Proud Mary"?

) IMO, Henley's "Boys of Summer" was so good, especially when compared to the recent remake.
Along the same lines, I've wondered how subsequent generations will remake hip-hop, which has already "sampled" (stolen) from previous artists. How exactly will that work?
