Interesting point about function of oft-repeated phrases, and I agree completely, but I'm not sure this doesn't make them less of a 'cliche'. Also for me this detracts from the 'great art' claim.

Interesting points from Jim as usual.

By the way, I didn't say I didn't like the song, merely that the claim that this and similar are 'great art' seems difficult to sustain.


Tell us a little about Bronson's methodology and his aesthetic principles (if any)?
