Pretty sad.

The funny thing is you are theoretically mocking someone for hanging out in a chat room....while YOU are in a chat room!!!!!!

has nothing to do with cleverness or smarts.
just not arrogant enough to read something into someone else's words.
they may be in fact talking about an abusive father, but there is certainly nothing in the lyrics that conclusively states that.

and there is a big difference btwn an internet horse racing forum and a band chat room.
not even close to the same thing.
have fun weirdo.

I'm still looking for my place. I was striving for expert in the ways of sarcastic responses but the competition around here in that category is super tough. I've yet to crack the top five.

Not a bad idea, at the rates he is pulling down for what he does, I should be begging him to mentor me in his ways. I wouldn't mind sitting in the press box at Staples Center or the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, at even one third of his rate.

Ok Ok, let's not get greedy, you can have SoCal.
There should be room for a few of us in the Dixie "you too can learn to be a legend" apprenticeship program.

you're still just mad about the disparaging comments i've made about your handicapping in the 'week 3' thread

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.
