If you understood it you’d appreciate it

C'mon Val, do you think this stuff is beyond anyone's artistic comprehension? It's infantile and crass.

Enjoy it by all means mate, music is a personal taste after all, but I think it's funny that's is attempting to pass as high art.

Snake_Baker listen to this. The way he times his bars with awesome lyrics is genius. If you can’t appreciate this then you’ll never get it.



Rhyming is "genius" these days? Okay.

I don't reckon it's exactly Dylan, Waits, Cohen, McGowan, Scott Heron, Zevon or this:

My idea of genius poetry:

jingoism

I never wore a yellow ribbon
& I've bled for this country
no flag either
or "WELCOME HOME HEROES" bumper sticker on my car
I can't find one good thing to say
about American teenagers firing extremely high-tech weaponry
against a virtually unarmed enemy

A parade for our heroes?
A parade for death?
What was the body count anyway?
How many Iraqi children died with our metal in their bones?

I'm not going to make a nineteen year old kid a hero
for having the innocence to kill

I have two Purple Hearts myself
for being young & stupid
& that is not an excuse
to fill a coffin

TOUR OF DUTY


I held onto the rail with both hands
my daughter laying beneath dwarfed
by an adult's hospital bed
the bruises
from countless IV's ran up her arm
& straight back to Vietnam
where I watched the dioxin
cut the jungle
& eat the children of the Viet Cong

......then devour mine
