Counting Crows set to cover "Ask"

I just got this article from Billboard.com

Counting Crows Content In 'Candy' Land - Mar. 15

In the article the Counting Crows are talking about their new upcoming album HARD CANDY, and mentioned that they are scheduled to cover "ASK"......

"In addition to the material for "Hard Candy," Counting Crows also cut an album's worth of covers, which may be pulled together for a bonus disc or used on the Web. Some will be used as B-sides on European singles. Among the tracks that were scheduled to be recorded are "Someday I Will Treat You Good" (Sparklehorse), "Amie" (Pure Prairie League), and "Ask" (the Smiths)."

The Counting Crows did an interesting cover of the Psychedelic Furs' "The Ghost In You" a couple of years ago, so I am interested in hearing what they will do with "ASK".

    I am a huge Counting Crows fan. They are my second favorite band next to Morrissey. Anywayz, I have alot of covers that they have done over the years and let me say they do some good ones. I was always hoping they would cover so Smiths/Morrissey. Now they have, great!

    The news about the Counting Crows covering "ASK" is more nauseating that Hootie covering "Please...". I imagine Marr/Morrissey have final say who remakes their tunes. Please boys, if you have any intergrity block this cover. Counting Crows are HORRIBLE. One hit wonders. Affected Poseurs. I'd sooner purchase a cover recorded by Al Queda. Bad idea.

      I seriously doubt Mozz & Marr have any control or input about who covers their music. Hootie covering "please..." would seem to be proof of that.

          Hi, does anyone know Moz's postal address in LA?
          Also, I was trying to find some pics of The Mike Joyce Court Case which were displayed here on Morrissey-solo some 2 years ago, where are those pics??
          Last, does anyone know where to find photos of Morrissey's parents and other members of his family, would like to see his mother/father/brother...

                Do tell me this is a rumor. Otherwise it could be a fatal blow in music history.

                        Personally I think you all have serious issues going on with covers. Everytime anyone releases/announces a cover song everyone starts shouting about what a disgrace it is. And you know, it's bloody annoying. Many of you try to pretend you're open-minded and intellectual but you can't even accept someone who plays a different style of music covering a Smiths song. Sometimes I enjoy cover songs, sometimes I think they're terrible. That doesn't mean I come and whine about it.

                        How disgusting Iam most radio stations will mention it like a "new" song by the counting crows and all smiths fans will be seriously irrated and hopefully start a revolt.

                        What the article forgot to mention is that Steve Lillywhite will be producing the new Crows' record so if he doesn't have a problem with them, why should we? Perhaps he evn suggested they'd do a Smiths song.
                        To be honest, I really do not understand the outrage of some of you. After all, it's only music, and no, it will not be overplayed on the radio. Even if britney Spears would cover it, it would still not be a big hit. It is just far too subtle.
                        And we will always remember the original anyway.
