I find it assinine to clump music and lyrics together into one catagory and even worse, to call the entire catagory music. Music is music, lyrics are words.. two EXTREMELY different forms of communication. Music convey's emotions, words convey definitions in the listeners mind.. Verbal communication is a flawed form of commication, and music is not. My favorite is when people refuse to listen to music that does not have words, I love those people and would like to give them flowers. -=Aaron
