Just in case you ever have a hankering for a computer-generated haiku...& just by refreshing, you can have as many as you want.

What's the most censored song on radio? On "What It's Like", a great song by Everlast, they even bleep "chrome .45".
What's the least censored song on radio? On Free's "All Right Now", the best song the Rolling Stones never wrote, they allow this chestnut: "Let's move before they raise the fuckin' rent!" --& no one is offended.
Go figure.

Awhile back i gave a talk locally on Sylvia Plath as a Symboliste poet. If i ever run across my notes i will try to reconstitute what i said, but it just goes to show the stupidity of received opinion, that Plath will be forever bracketed with Anne Sexton, whose poetry had virtually nothing in common with hers in term of craft, vision, or profundity: simply because of the manner of their deaths.
