The basic dichotomy seems to be over how Pete generates lyrics, whether by
standing up on stage and spontaneously creating art or by sitting down with
a pencil and paper and planning words out. If Pete creates lyrics on stage,
then the summer's improvs are songs. But if he only creates lyrics with a
pencil and paper, then they're not. Right?
I was reading a book today that set up a dichotomy between Intuitionists and
Empiricists. I'm not sure these are exactly opposites, but I do think that
describes the philosophies we've got here. Of course, you might gather that
I not only think Pete creates on stage, but that possibly he does his best
work there. ;)
In this corner, ladies and gentlemen, the Intuitionists! And in this
corner, the Empiricists!!! Think we could get it on CELEBRITY DEATH MATCH?
