    All this talk about the hook, and this is what I keep thinking about...



    I think I liked Mr. Popper better when he was big. He seemed to have more sustain. Maybe it was due to the larger body mass?

    The lyrics to that song are actually pretty funny when you take the time to read them.

    The thing is, most people like melody and hooks when it comes right down to it. If you can get those across in music without being stylistically uncreative and/or having stupid lyrics, I think you'll be in pretty good company. Don't ask people to bear with you while you wail some tuneless melody about Goethe; your audience won't last too long, or at least it won't be very sizable.

    So, in Gibson terms we can now call him weight relieved? Do you think he prefers the term chambered?
