I'm not impressed by these nursery rhymes. Start the revolution without me.

if it weren't for the music to sign/hum along to.

i'm knowledgeable enough to know that "innit" is not understandable (or proper) english, something some native speakers don't know. And you?
roger wang
innit ...
We only have fragments. See link.
yes, and:
a) those are guesses as no one knows what ancient greek music sounded like - how could anyone know?
b) even IF IF IF it were possible to know, do people go out and read greek lyric poetry for the music that did accompany it?
Like today: music with lyrics is bought and listened to for the music, dylan not excepted.
roger wang
a. We have fragments only.
b. Greeks sang their poems. When I read Greek poetry, I'm aware that I'm getting only part of what the ancient Greeks experienced.
are you aware that new fragments of Sappho have been discovered and published?

Any Yutz can read his lyrics, just Google anything from Moden Times to see what I mean.
re-read my original post.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti was an American poet and people listened to him but there was only words, no music. Ditto Dylan's hanger on, Allen Ginsburg.
Ginsburg was Dylan's "hanger on"? You can't be serious. You know less than zero about modern American poetry...and music.
WHO LISTENS TO BOD DYLAN OUTSIDE OF THE MUSIC?
who bought bob dylan's records without the attraction of the music?
roger wang
I got him on LPs, CDs and SACDs.
My post was mostly tongue in cheek (the line "You're quite hostile" is the lead in voice over to the song "Prophets of Doom" that I cited and linked to,).
But I do believe that Public Enemy was an extremely talented and ground breaking group and very relevant in the late 1980s.
And I reject outright the claim that all hip hop is garbage. Most of it is like most popular music is, but much of it is quite extraordinarily entertaining and fun.
In my not so humble opinion, that is.
