PEL Presents PMP#142: Lyric Literality w/ Dave Philpott

<p>Since 2008, Dave has written cheeky (but actually heavily researched) letters to rock stars that point out logical flaws in and/or deliberately misunderstand their lyrics. Many of these have been answered by the artists and housed in three books: <a href="https://amzn.to/3QF3arT"><em>Dear Mr. Kershaw</em></a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3XcHExa"><em>Dear Mr. Popstar</em></a>, and <a href="https://amzn.to/3w1N9mh"><em>Grammar Free In The U.K</em></a>. </p> <p>Mark and Al Baker talk to Dave about the "green ink" stereotype in British comedy, metaphors in songwriting, how meaning escapes the intentions of the author, the clash between lyrical meaning and musical style, avoiding clichés, and more.</p> <p>For more, visit <a href="http://prettymuchpop.com/">prettymuchpop.com</a>.
