To Guest HiLo,

I take it you meant to say "sophomoric" and not "sophmoric".

Have to reject the claim that his lyrics were over-simplistic. On the contrary, I would say that Phil wrote some very good lyrics and he definitely had a way with words.

You sound to me like a "hurler on the ditch". That`s a term we use in Ireland to describe someone who watches our national game from the sidelines and is permanently criticizing because obviously he can do everything so much better himself. The only pity is that he hasn`t been picked for the team.

As for the comment about him not being a very good musician-one should also be slightly more exact here. Do this mean not a very good singer or guitar player or what?
