Well I don't normally do the battle of wits type of thing, but this time I felt more than compelled to respond to Diane E. Your first comment or critique "you cringed at the ryhme between NAM and DAN", well in music OR poetry there is such a thing as NEAR RYHME and with the right music or chord progression these can be very effective and a nice change from the mundane or the rule of thumb theory of song writing. You went on to say..."also feel like there is something missing. You explained the lyric as being one that you wrote about a Vet whose life was changed by the war, but you didn't explain in the lyric what caused the change." What caused the change? HOW ABOUT THE WAR!! Thanks Diane! Mark
