If you feel like getting around to it, I'd still be interested to hear what about life, specifically, was not understood by William Shakespeare or John Lennon.
All I am saying is that from what I have read and heard of Lennon and Shakespeare put up next to Smith and Johnston it doesn't hold up.
The lyrics to Imagine are horrible. Lyrics written by a man who would rather not think.
The words in Shakespeare's plays are cool and good sure, but there is nothing that you can take out of Shakespeare and show me that would amaze me, inspire me, or make me feel that Shakespeare was not some average joe who learned to write the english language down on paper.
You see there are 2 different kinds of people at this level, those who know and those who don't.
The ones who don't are greatly appreciated by those millions of others who don't and the ones that do but are misunderstood by the masses like here in this microcosm at evc.
I'm not saying that these men are saviors, I'm saying that they are brilliant - and that The Beatles and Shakespeare while being good at what they do were not brilliant. Their work is work and that is all it is, a purpose, a career...
