Metallica's lyrics are true poetry and masterful descriptions of human emotion.

Ozzy, without question is the greatest musical poet of all time.

This is crazy. I used to live in Worcester and now live in a suburb right outside of Worcester because I didn't want my kids to go to the public schools there.

Judging from this, I made the right choice.

I would like to know how it is that students who read lines like, "I'm more than you can handle, I'm hotter than a wax candle" are then going to make the leap to loving the sonnets of Shakespeare.

I have never read or heard Mr. Shaker's groovin' rhymes (that I know of), but I can say that I've read plenty of Shakespeare and have seen enough of his plays to know that Mr. Shaker can't be much worse.

Rap has more claim on poetry than it does music, by my definition an element present in all music is harmony, and the little rap music that I have heard is anything but harmonious.

If getting the little darlings to read print on paper is the be-all and end-all of education, why not just have them read Mein Kampf? That'll get their attention... (/sarcasm)

Tupac Shakur (search), is just Robert Frost (search) for kids of today.

And we wonder why our kids are screwed up. I don't know how you can equate gang violenc, rape, and drugs to Robert Frost. We really need to get the NEA out of public education.

Gee, wonder if Wilderness and The American Night are on that list? Ya think? ;-)
