You're  the only one talking about "right" or "wrong". I'm talking
about "getting  JA" and "not getting JA". If you don't get JA, that's
fine; I neither mind  nor care. 



Just to add something here.  I know someone who was involved  with JA and 
experienced his lyric writing first hand.  He churned an entire  album's lyrics 
in a few hours sat on a bench in a garden.  That amount  of writing in such a 
short space'o'time can only support the 'drivel'  aspect.  If your lyrics are 
basically sound and rhythm and no content,  you can achieve this power writing 
mode but are negating most of what real  poets cling to, meaning.  If you have 
to consider the meaning of what you  are writing, I venture you can't power 
write unless you are a genius which he  ain't.  And he's not a poet either.  I 
hope he's got a chair that  really fits him.
