Benjamin Franklin was the oldest at 70.\n\nI believe Leaves of Grass took longer to write...was 37 years.

Long ago \nJust like the hearse, you die to get in again \nWe are...\nSo far from you\n\nBurning on, just like the match you strike to incinerate\nThe lives\nOf everyone you know \nAnd what's the worst to take? (worst to take)\nFrom every heart you break (heart you break) \nAnd like a blade you stain (blade you stain)\nWell, I've been holding on tonight \n\n[chorus] \nWhat's the worst thing I could say?\nThings are better if I stay \nSo long and goodnight \nSo long not goodnight \n\nCame a time \nWhen every star falls\nBrought you to tears again \nWe are\nThe very hurt you sold \nAnd what's the worst to take? (worst to take)\nFrom every heart you break (heart you break)\nAnd like the blade you stain (blade you stain)\nWell, I've been holding on tonight\n\n[chorus] \nWhat's the worst thing I could say?\nThings are better if I stay \nSo long and goodnight \nSo long not goodnight \n\nWell, if you carry on this way \nThings are better if I stay \nSo long and goodnight \nSo long not goodnight \n\nCan you hear me... \nAre you near me? \nDo we deserve \nto leave the Earth\nDo we learn?\nWhen both our cars collide!\n\n[chorus] \nWhat's the worst thing I could say?\nThings are better if I stay \nSo long and goodnight \nSo long not goodnight \n\nWell, if you carry on this way\nThings are better if I stay\nSo long and goodnight\nSo long not goodnight ...

"The greatest American writer of free verse is probably Walt Whitman. His great collection of free verse was titled Leaves of Grass and it was published in 1855" - first link below.\n\n"Free verse (also at times referred to as vers libre) is a term describing various styles of poetry that are not written using strict meter or rhyme, but that still are recognizable as 'poetry' by virtue of complex patterns of one sort or another that readers can perceive to be part of a coherent whole."\n\n"American poet, journalist and essayist, best known for LEAVES OF GRASS (1855), which was occasionally banned, and the poems 'I Sing the Body Electric' and 'Song of Myself.' Whitman incorporated natural speech rhythms into poetry. He disregarded metre, but the overall effect has a melodic character. Harold Bloom has stated in The Western Canon (1994) that "no Western poet, in the past century and half, not even Browning, or Leopardi or Baudelaire, overshadows Walt Whitman or Emily Dickinson." - last link\n\nHope this helps. Was constrained by your time limit.

I could definately sing better than Hillary, I mean who cant? Another one is Ashlee simson and Jessica, i dont think I can sing better than, but i think they both suck. Jessica sounds like she is pushing really hard, and ashlee sounds like she is trying too hard. Those are the only ones I dont like. Their voices I mean. If i think of another i will tell you

I don't think it's that big of a deal. So what? 20 to 30 seconds of the song soundd similiar. They didn't mention how the choruses are completely different, and I'm positive that the Tom Petty song doesn't have a great guitar/bass solo at the end. This is an instance where people focus on a small, little piece, but completely ignore the rest of the song. Only the introps are similar, that's all. Trust me, Anthony Kiedis doesn't need to rip off Tom Petty.

"Alice's Restaurant."  by Arlo Guthrie. It's 18 1/2 minutes long. Of course, I'd probably be screaming for death after the 4th or 5th time around.

I didn't know that so I'll check them out.  I like the older modest mouse albums better then the new one but they are all pretty good.  Get The Moon & Antarctica... you can hear some samples if you search at yahoo audio

I'm not sure because I don't have that song yet, but I'm downloading it as I type this to see if I'm right or not.  The part you said that goes, "Nothing hurts like your mouth" sounds like a lot of that song by Bush from The American Werewolf in Paris soundtrack. I think it was that movie.  I know it was on one of those American Werewolf movies.  Anyways, the song that I'm talking about is called "Mouth"

I don't believe they stop! Layne staley's voice was getting more drug-affected and lower with time, until he ODd and died, chris cornell cannot scream anymore in live shows, if u saw LIVE 8 i think u would have agreed! So...

It was the blackest night \nThere was no moon in sight \nYou know the stars ain't shinin' \n'Cause the sky's too tight \nI heard the scarey wind \nI seen some ugly trees \nThere was a werewolf honkin' \n'Long the side of me...\n\nFrom Ti**ies and Beer...actually i like the whole song!!!

American Trilogy is comprised of three songs.  Of course I can’t remember one of them, but the other 2 are Battle Hymn of the Republic and Dixie.  This song was written for Elvis and he sang it well, but it wasn’t a big a hit as he would have liked it to have been, especially when it was released.  I’ve heard the studio version and the live version.  The live version (like from Aloha from Hawaii) is FANTASTIC!  That’s all the info I have.

mama 'taint long fo' day : willie mctell. some of the finest poetry written in america during the twentieth century, set to some of the finest music.\n\n'sweet suffolk owl': thomas vautour. even better poetry, even better music - but kind of challenging if what you're used to is the white stripes.

Wow, I play that song so much, and I have never sat down to try and make sense of the lyrics. Being an American, I probably wouldn't be much help to analyze it, but letting you know there are Americans who do like the song.

The Sound of Animals Fighting¹ and Fall of Troy sound a lot like The Mars Volta.  They're both a bit heavier though.  You might also like Explosions in the Sky, Porcupine Tree, Kayo Dot, Isis, Cult of Luna, Red Sparowes, ...and You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead² and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.\n\nI'll update if I think of any more.
