Book Description
Every day logic surrounds us. Used and abused at cocktail parties and dinner functions, in friendly conversations and verbal feuds, in science, in thinking and reflecting, logic is s a tool of mind. It is the language of thought. Logic is very human and concerns us all, even if it is not always used by man. Logical Lyrics: from Philosophy to Poetics is a collection of citations and aphorisms from all sorts of people - from Napoleon bonarparte to Human League - expressing their embracing, critical and humorous views on logic and logical matters. "I found this collection utterly absorbing from beginning to end. It combines some very sagacious ideas with some choice bits that are delightfully funny." Raymond M. Smullyan, New York " "If I were you, I would buy this book." What does that mean? It means, "buy this book." Why does it mean that? Perhaps this book will help you understand. Or perhaps not, but it will certainly be entertaining reading in the meantime." Melvin C. Fitting, CUNY, New York Logical Lyrics is an independent follow-up to Feisty Fragments: For Philosophy

Book Description
This book is the first rigourous and detailed exploration of exactly how blues singers used formulas to create songs, and it more than amply fills the gap in the the study of the blues, where the structure and content of the lyrics have been less fully explored than the musical form. Focusing on the songs recorded by African-American singers for pre-World War Two commercial recording companies, this is an excellent structural analysis of the formulaic composistion of blues lyrics. This book gives a step-by-step description of the rules implicit in this formulaic structure and inspires new discussion of lyric structures. A wide array of readers will find this insightful and informative: from students of African-American music, cultural studies, history and linguistics, to Blues fans fascinated by exactly how the lyrics of this influential music style are written.
