Don't know what angle it's coming from though.

Could I ask a favor. This discussion on poetry vis a vis song has gotten very involved and with, by now, so many side-branches that it's nigh fractal in nature.
Could someone involved in the debate offer an impartial outline of the terms of argument for both sides? What are the central positions here, if they can be reconstructed? This might allow other people to weigh in with more confidence, and feel they are doing so without stepping into the middle of a pissing match.
