I'm a music girl. I like good lyrics, but they don't matter nearly as much as the music and voice itself. I can imagine an interesting story for an interesting sounding music which has meh lyrics. But I can't bear to listen to a music that sounds meh even if I like the lyrics.

I managed to listen to the same albums for about 2 decades without learning any of the lyrics. Sometimes some cool sounding phrases stick (No one wants to take you home/like a pizza in the rain) but most of the time I prefer to listen to songs in languages I don't understand and I can pretend that they are saying something really smart.

Lyrics are important. I like instrumental music, but when I listen to instrumental music, I don't feel any particular emotion. In order for a song to have emotion, it has to have lyrics.

Interesting. I hadn't heard about that. I went to Ozzfest that year in California and Bruce was talking all kinds of shit about Ozzy. Bruce came off as a complete asshole and we boo'ed him. You don't talk shit about the guy that's headlining the tour you are getting paid by. And you don't rant to the crowd instead of playing music. That's not what we were there for.
