  1. Song lyrics and poetry are rarely comparable. Very rarely.

  2. Eric Burdon could blow Jagger off the stage. And Townsend spent too much time jibbering about an inscrutable "religion".

  3. Since 1964, here -- and before "You Really Got Me".

  4. Ray Davies is an "inward-looking" songwriter.

  5. Can a non-genius recognize "genius"?

  6. Genuine artists never have it figured out. In fact, that is the danger, to stop growing. And: can a non-genius asses genius?

  7. You need to go back to the beginning. Recommend "I'm On an Island," "Waterloo Sunset".

  8. You haven't listened to all "The Kinks" LPs.

  9. It can't be proven that there's a "god". Why do you not give Ray Davies credit for his own work?

  10. Must be true -- you can't spell his name: Avery.

  11. Crimes are prosecuted by the GOV'T.

  12. Many British bands had problems touring in the US because of the musicians union. One story is that they were banned for touring without considering that issue. I always preferred both "The Kinks" and "The animals" to "The Rolling Stones". But the US never would have heard of any of them if not for "The Beatles".

  13. He said it was "his partner" "of the time".

  14. You haven't heard many songwriters.

  15. "Lola" is throw-away garbage for the superficial who love "freaky" but never go beyond that.

  16. Bowie is a bore.

  17. Regardless "god".

  18. Medications of some kind.

  19. You've yet to listen to all their recordings.

  20. Ray tuned inward from writing pop songs to writing about England as result of "The Kinks" being banned from the United States for some years. In other words, it wasn't entirely his choice to do so.

  21. Every decent songwriter "redefines" songwriting.

  22. Puke.

  23. Which one?

  24. You live a narrow, small life.

  25. Richards has been dead since the 1970s. He just doesn't know it yet.

  26. Mick Avery.

  27.  @Jubilo1  He could ONLY file a civil suit. But it's probable that the shooter is poor, thus the effort to steal the woman's handbag.

  28. He's not an intellectual, which would get in the way of the creative process.

  29. So you haven't heard their earlier, better songs. Try "Sunny Afternoon" and "Waterloo Sunset".

  30. I believe it was Dave who had the stroke.

  31. "Lola" is garbage -- it appeals to those who like "freaky," while they ignore such gems as "Waterloo Sunset".
