as a fellow song writer, i agree with drew...perhaps there is a great deal of difference between the interests involved in music...but that's why we have so many different kinds of music...ive listened to many songs from bands that don'r rhyme and still inspires me...the older stuff i did arent all rhythmic as well (at least in terms of lyrics)..perhaps there is a need for a more open view in regards to music and songwriting..not to mention, respect...
