Equipemnt to Music to Lyrics

Some Poets listen to music

When did everyone make the move from equipment to music to lyrics?

I guess I am not exactly sure what you are asking.  Are you asking why, if the lyrics are strong enough, do people care about the quality of the play back?  Or am I missing the boat again?

I guess I am not exactly sure what you are asking.

Me neither. The fact that the question is phrased as if this is a common shift of focus is in itself perplexing.

@tomic601

Not sure what your point is. Care to elaborate?

Mine is that that simply because something is "poetic" or well written does not make it poetry. 

@stuartk,

I don't read poetry.

I read some Poetry…i suppose push came to shove I like Wendell Barry, Jim Harrison, Ted Kooser , even i suppose when feeling silly sonnet constraints…stuff like Sonnets of the Wingless Hours.

One of my dear friends, quite the Jazz and art connoisseur…prefers blackout…
