      Jacob Rhodes And yet he denied the value of A Storm in Heaven in favor of being a mainstream singer songwriter. He's very talented, there is no doubt, but it's such a shame he lost what made the Verve special in favor of mediocre songs like "Bittersweet Symphony".

      @@TheReesi73 Lennon Brilliant? Art is all about interpretation. Richard’s songwriting is outstanding and the sound the best there is. Lennon on the other hand so over rated. Was completely up his own jacksie for what in the most part were catchy pop songs with little to no substance. Most of his stuff could have been done by guys like Bieber. Lennon liked to come across as the rebel but was soon KA when the yanks were looking at kicking him out, very little integrity. As stared earlier it’s all about interpretation and each to their own.

    "These people are sent to test us, sent to play with our minds". Charlie Stayt, commenting on Richard's outfit in the video for 'These People': "..... a Polo-neck and a gas mask, nice, nice touch!" Richard: "Yeah I think it could be the future, yeah, who knows we might see it on the high streets soon". These things are planned well in advance. If you had advanced knowledge of events to come, ask yourself...... "How would I go about telling people"? czcams.com/video/xZ-I3ZlR1to/video.html
