Songs "Ripping Off" Other Songs
That was the most rambling and repetitive piece of music criticism I've seen from me in years. I'm going to put just an apology here, and the content in a belated Pt.2 once it's presentable.
Aha! Sorry, Mel. You must have snuck that in on the original version. OK, when I post the edit I'll put it right up in its original place!
For historical context, folks, I posted this huge thing that said the same three things 3 times each, then on the re-read I was so appalled that I had to pull it down and in its place state:

- That edit is still pending, but when it comes I'll put it here, and I will note right now that Mel's above endorsement cannot be construed to apply with force to the forthcoming heavily-revised version.
Having said that - Mel. I have to agree with you 100%. Everything I said was dead on. I just realized maybe it was so dead on it didn't need to be said so many times!
Mel, I'm sorry to keep you hanging, here. That post was too big a beast to tame! I've split it up in three: one post to do with comparison of two pieces on intrinsic merit, discarding aspects irrelevant to the actual "text" of the work itself; a second post to do with process of creation (unfinished); and thirdly, a shitload of redundant, rambling paragraphs that didn't really fit in either of the first two posts.
