“Maybe I’m Amazed” that “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” but somehow, the “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” can oftentimes take you “Higher” … Words that work! Thanks a million, James, I really enjoyed the post.

great post, this really hits on exactly what all writing should be about: the person reading it. poets have always worked to bring about emotional responses in their readers — that makes them interacting. even though something is written and done, that doesn’t mean that it’s dead, it’s just as living as anything else, if it’s written properly.

Okay – so no one has even pointed out the beautiful use of words in the “More than Words” lyrics…

“Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you. It’s not that I want you not to say but if you only knew…”

At that point, if you’re the girl who’s listening, aren’t you just thinking, “Huh?”

And to think I’m reading a post in praise of this song on copyblogger!

I agree with you James and I think it’s in this area that we’re most likely to see creativity in the industry, i.e. where the hard sell isn’t apparent.

What I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on though is, what if it were the actual words that the people have come for i.e. blogs, forums, newsgroups etc, will visual interruptions (display advertising) be accepted then?

@ The Masked Millionaire: Extreme is an American band, they were only really popular during the late 80′s and early 90′s… Basically they’re one of those bands that no one really knows by name, but rather by a song or two that acheived ‘extreme’ popularity
Gary Cherone was the frontman of the group, he later went on to sing for Van Halen, their third vocalist, and has, more recently, started a ‘The Who’ cover band with his brother….
