Mike Dixon,

I find your remarks to be interesting. However, I find that the music evokes the words; sort of a "release valve" if you will.

Trying not to stray too far off topic, I will briefly visit this path : If I listen to a group like TOOL, I find their music to be noise, but the lyrics to be insightful. Without my son's guidance, I would never even venture there. The music would repel me. Now, I return to the magic of Lightfoot:

He has both the music, and the words.
