->"The cover is like a drag act, a way of inhabiting another persona or body or voice, and it is a way of doing so while self-consciously registering the performance rather than merely blending into the original. When Music/RufusWainwright performs a version of "Chelsea Hotel #2" by Music/LeonardCohen, for example, the song, famous for its unsentimental account of a tryst between Cohen and Janis Joplin, becomes instead a queer elegy to another anonymous gay encounter. And when Music/PattiSmith performed another Leonard Cohen song, "Gloria," on her classic 1975 release, ''Horses,'' she turned the song easily into a lesbian punk anthem, despite the fact that she admits easily to being heterosexual in her orientation. The lesbian pose in this instance is itself a cover version--she covers a song that also causes her to cover a different identity position, and in the process she creates what she calls "positive anarchy." In both of these cases the original song really gets replaced by the cover version, which makes it irredeemably queer."
