if you majored in music then you'd probably get me on the technical side of composition -- though i'm standing firm on the songwriting thing.

Shall there be a duel?

I only kept it as my major for a year...so technically I am not real strong...had a scholarship to a music school in boston but they couldn't get me any housing...so I switched to my other love, the ponies...I was just giving you sh*t

Darn.

The more I thought about it, the more I was looking forward to the songwriting duel.

Ho-hum, another time, another place perhaps.

Is that a challenge? Or tongue in cheek?

I would never claim to be able to interpret every song out there, I was mostly speaking to the way songs are crafted and structured -- and how Repent's logic in figuring that becuase it does not say "father" it is not about a "father" was terribly flawed and the exact sort of reasoning any random second-grader would use in trying, for the first time, to interpret poetry.

I'm joking around.

It is about something specific but it's pretty random.

Much as I like Pearl Jam, by the way, figuring out what their songs are about is usually fairly simple.

Genuine Risk,
I don't know if you saw the article in today's Guardian about John Lennon.
Here it is.
