In answering the question about which composer's style most greatly resembles Pound's poetic style, Charles Moyer replied, >I'd say -Bob Dylan or >Frank Zappa or maybe Mariah Carey I can see why you might choose Frank Zappa. What comes to my mind is the song "Call any vegetable" especially the rutabaga chorus. What I really wanted to know is if people on the list thought that Pound's style was more analgous to that of Beethoven, Wagner, or Strauss the Waltz King. Here are some selected lyrics from Zappa's "Call any vegetable" for those interested: This is a song about vegetables They keep you regular, They're real good for you. Call any vegetable (Call any vegetable) Call it by name (Call any vegetable) Call one today (Call any vegetable) When you get off the train (Call any vegetable) Call any vegetable And the chances are good That the vegetable will respond to you (Some people don't go for prunes...I don't know, I've always found that if they...) Call any vegetable (Call any vegetable) Pick up your phone (Call any vegetable) Think of a vegetable (Call any vegetable) Lonely at home (Call any vegetable) Call any vegetable And the chances are good That a vegetable will respond to you Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabay-y-y-y... ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
