Indeed, we just have to look at what's happening in various States to know racism is still a big problem.

I was actually rooting for the structure to keep moving forward (on to D, E, F, etc...) --you hear that sometimes in modern operatic form but never in popular music. It can really keep a listener "in the moment" but perhaps at the expense of giving that same listener little anchoring.

I love trying things as you suggested here with structure...to just move away from the expected format...and have done a couple of songs along those lines. The trick/challenge is to keep the listener interested...I wrote and recorded a song with 2 lines...and the length was 7 minutes...it seemed to work...I will post it at JPF in a bit...the response from one person was .."that's the fastest 7 minute song I've ever heard" LOL
