A conundrum

I was walking under these powerlines for some of the morning and they were crackeling. They're not supposed to do that right? I bike under them in the USA all the time and I've never heard that. Which got me thinking about the song "Wichita Lineman". Jimmy Webb is such a great songwriter and Glen Campbell was perfect to sing his songs. Just like Dionne Warwick was perfect for Burt Bacherach.

Still their songs are so great that REM does sizzling covers of JW songs and Elvis Costello really rips some BB songs. 

Can't figure out whose best: REM doing JW or EC doing BB?
