Donald, your comments are a very unfortunate example of an "I'm  
right, so that makes you wrong" exchange. You should take note that I  
didn't include in my initial email on the subject: "anyone who thinks  
Jon Anderson's lyrics are profound or even good knows absolutely  
nothing about what constitutes good poetry." That wouldn't have been  
very nice, would it? And you would then have a perfect right to feel  
insulted -- as I do now


 
 
So I'm going to mediate this whole thing. Rick... Jon  Anderson wrote lyrics 
that often made no sense and were sort of, "stream of  consciousness." The 
words were just that... they were meant to carry the mood of  the song nothing 
more. It's not like Jon wrote anything that expresses an  opinion or educates 
the listener.
 
Donald, don't fuck with Rick.
 
There! It's over.
 
So, I just had a chance to listen to the new Bruce  Springsteen CD. It is 
really, really great. I don't give a rat's ass about you  naysayers. No one on 
this list is capable of producing anything close.   These songs ring of passion. 
They are Rock in it's purest form. Great music and  something to say. And a 
ton of great Chamberlin to boot.
 
I don't care if some of you disagree. Remember, only  my opinion counts.
