Hey Couch,

The proper pronunciation by the book is Dalles...check a dictionary to see that so a short a sound is not even proper.
I understand your point however and think it's valid.
What is NOT valid, is a "lack of concern for the craft" on my part...that's a little condescending (actually alot) from my point of view.
We could go back and forth forever, and that'd be a complete waste of time.
We've got completely different takes on lyrics and different styles and that's OK. It'd be like me telling you to stop with all the description; it's your style, so me telling you that is pointless, it's what you think makes a good lyric. My style might not be as rigid as yours since your concern for the craft is apparently greater than mine, but that doesn't make your opinion a correct one, or incorrect for that matter.
