Hmm. Maybe so on "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Two of Us," but I'm positive Lennon wrote "All You Need Is Love." The trick to knowing who really wrote each Lennon/McCartney song is who's singing. I know Paul hates to this day that Lennon's name is attached to "Yesterday," which is Paul solo.

A little "trick" to making rhyming schemes work is to pick easy words to rhyme. Sounds obvious, but try coming up with a rhyming scheme using "silver" versus "gold" - even though they are similar "symbolically", picking the right word for A in your rhyme scheme is a key.

Exactly my point - that's part of the craft. Poets, artists, musicians, etc. that know craft, can appreciate the work at a deeper level.
BTW, can you see people discussing poetry, sculpture, art vs. craft, and inspiration on the AC/DC, Kiss, Poison type websites? Possibly, but I doubt it. Just one more piece of evidence that prog listeners are probably of a different personality than non-prog listeners. The same "tick" in our heads that makes us analyze movies makes us like prog.
