intelligence isn't measured by personal taste of poetry or anything really, so go be superior somewhere else.

Poetry isn't a subjective free for all that some make it out to be. There is the issue of timelessness. Every generation of poets seem to critique and hold under the light the classics. And many still stand. There are benchmarks.

If a poem, generation after generation causes people to be moved then it is worthy. If not then goodbye.

As far as 'renegade poets', I would side with an poetry establishment on this one. Advice: Take poetry courses at a repsected college. There is mountains to learn and presumably one or two geniuses a generation or one hundred years.

I'm not fond of Thurston lyrics ( or SY lyrics ) at all.
Still , the good thing is that they're not restricted in their music due to the fact that they can't write lyrics.
I've read Bob Mould saying that they ( Husker Du ) could have record much more songs , only they didn't because of their inability to write lyrics ( which is pitifull , IMO ).

I think hes a good songwriter, and he sometimes makes really stupid sounding things sound cool, but sometimes he just sounds stupid.

Like Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style. The lyrics for that are just gay. A fuzzy peach teenage computer or some shit like that?

Interesting: Levy inspires Moore, Moore inspires Watkins. Everyone's a rip-off artist.

I hear alot of Elitisim in Thurston's lyrics. As in, the "whats that wierd kid doing in the corner'. It is just that it gets old quick. I undertand that SY are loyal to the avant-garde, different at all costs school of thought. That needs to exist.

It is just that sometimes the vital communication is missing.

I much prefer Beck's wordplay or Lee for that matter.

I'd have to go with a rapper, man.
Aesop Rock of MF Doom, maybe.
