Please. Don't knock me. I know exactly what rap music is about and I
apreciate what they are about. But you come across people like Lenny Kravitz
who writes all the lyrics and all the music for his songs. And I don't mean
just the guitars. I mean have you heard "It ain't over till it's over"? Well
the song has an orchestra with all the strings and bass instruments and he
wrote the music for all of them. Now that's talent. And someone like Neil
Young is along the same lines. I mean they know instrumental music. Not many
can compare to their knowledge.
