Subject: RE: BS: Is poetry the most over-rated art form?
Opens me up to my soap box!

I love poetry, and most songs - the ones you remember are naught but poetry set to music - the music in the best ones harmonises so well with the words and emotions, how can one be better than the other?

I hate competition, at this level!!$$££** I worked in Opera, with a set of notes (not even lyrics or libretto) to tell you what is going on a good opera can move you or an audience to tears, combined with the skull of the lighting and other technicians some bits still send shivers down my spine and I can still vizualise them 10+ years on!

The mona Lisa is (I think) rubbish but the cistine chapel is increddedible! And what about the Pyramids, they are art too in their own way. Like folk, rock, classical, Punk Rock there are different needs in society and all get well serviced most of the time.

The best ones live forever (fame!)

Well thats me all stirred up for a Saturday night.
