From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Re: Because their tunes are marginal.

I think some of the tunes are more than marginal, and I wouldn't refer to the instrumentalists as 3rd rate jazzers, but Morrison was mostly pretty worthless in my book. But then they never saw fit to boot him.

I saw somewhere, something that the guy from Franz Ferdinand said, something about how Morrison thought of himself as a 'poet.' Like it would've somehow been a bad thing to have thought of himself as a 'lyricist?' I guess he was too 'arty' or something for that.

I maintain that it would've been interesting if those musicians had had someone who was interested in music as much as he was in theater, or being a 'poet,' or being 'arty' or whatever the hell he was interested in. I will say I don't like it when musicians are held back by people with non-musical ambitions.
