I hope we aren't being scarastic here.. i'd be disappointed... But theres just something differnt about him that speaks well above others.. Yeah it could be dedication or sumthinnn else... Yeah i see your point on having to be in the mood for his musica, i sometimes get like that to but over all his lyrics were brillant
No, I wasn't being sarcastic when i said i really do like his stuff. i find his lyrics brilliant as well. and some of the tunes. Actually I first heard 'Dirty Ol' Town' by Elliot Smith, which is kind of weird, being in high school an all was a huge Flogging Molly fan, but never even heard of the Pouges until after school.
I was sort of being a smart ass about him stabbing himself thirteen times with a steak knife through the chest... that is what in fact I was calling dedication.
They only time I really listen to his music is when I have time to sit, lay back, and it has to be a calming environment for me to listen. Which doesn't come to often, being that my life is at complete and utter chaos right now, but I still have a few of his old tapes laying around in a box somewhere.
