   Whose to say Tiffany, etc. don't have somebody else writing for them?  It is
 an all too prevalent trend in music today, with most of the work/"genius" comi
ng from a hired lyricist.  To me, I can't respect an artist that doesn't write
their own material, just as I can't respect a president or politician that does
 not write their own speeches.  It is not THEM communicating.
   Great Lyricists?  I know a few, at least.  Roger Waters, without question.
Sting is excellent, too.  Bono and the U2 Gang.  Micheal Stipe and REM.  John L
ennon.  Sinead O'Connor.  Peter Gabrial.
