Lyrics' Power

Hey, I haven't blogged in a while, so here I start again. I was listening to the Beatles a few days ago in a friends car. Someone was talking about how great they were and everyone who knew the lyrics (not me) was singing along. This really got me to thinking about how incredibly powerful musicians are. Rather, all musicians have a great deal of power, but only some truly harness it to cause a great effect. John Lennon clearly harnessed the power. He's been dead for decades yet people who weren't even alive when he was alive repeat the words he once wrote as if they are gold. People say this dead man was a genius and they get excited when they hear his words in a song. That is a powerful legacy to leave behind.
