Ha! I also heard that nails-scratching-on-blackboard "expert analysis" of the Ramones. And that "invented the merch table" thing had me and my friend laughing out loud. More reason why I listen to less and less NPR.

Carol Kaye was sick the day they cut "Let's Dance On" so that's why there's no bass on it. True story.

As a songwriter and rock musician, I couldn't agree more. Your take on love applies to rock music as well: when you know, you know. No analysis required, and no amount of analysis will change it.
