I guess I could record an MP3 and post it, or I could just call you on the phone.<BR/><BR/>But if you don't mind just reading my thoughts (in print, not in a telepathy kind of way), yes, I did notice the redundancy, and, yes, I found it quite amusing. <BR/><BR/>There are several examples of nonstandard English usage on this album, in fact. For example, in the liner notes for "Get on Your Boots," the second line reads, "Winds BLOWS with a twist," which, as you know, is a subject-verb agreement error. In the recording of the song, though, the lyric is sung "Winds BLOW with a twist," so I can let it slide.<BR/><BR/>Over all, I can forgive such incorrectness in popular music lyrics, since it is a form of creative writing, rather than technical or academic writing.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919741843159310940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31909967.post-60498754519741581592009-03-05T20:56:00.000-08:002009-03-05T20:56:00.000-08:00When I saw the album cover I was hoping to hear yo...When I saw the album cover I was hoping to hear your thoughts on the lyrics from track 3, "Moment of Surrender."<BR/><BR/>And I quote, "I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine"<BR/><BR/>Don't tell me you didn't throw a little fit the first time you heard that.<BR/><BR/>As to posting your article... Were you paid by the paper to write it? If not, then you own it and can do with it what you want. It might be that you can do so even if they did pay you. I'm not positive on that, but for sure if they didn't then it is your intellectual property and you can do with it as you please.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892331811115011020noreply@blogger.com
