ok Marc, I have refrained from saying anything about your posts, I feel that you have made some legitimate points, and I can get past your first post because you were drunk, blah, blah, blah. But when you state that you think that we should demand more from songwriters, you're stepping over the line. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but when one writes passionately, they usually don't stop to make sure they are grammatically correct. And you were also just saying that you can type quicker when ignoring "unnecessary" keys, well writing in all lower caps is not correct, but then again, you're more focused on what you're writing, am I correct? I believe in speaking properly, but art is art. I can not criticize any painting by Van Gogh anymore than I criticize lyrics. I can certainly say that I don't like a painting or a song, but to dissect a piece of art destroys it's purpose--to see the whole picture.
Oh well, just my own opinion.
