By and large, I don't consider lyrics all that important to appreciating the music.  ...

That's really sad.

For the longest time, and this helped bring up a Flora Purim, Gilly Smyth, and a Damo to a lot of music out there, and they were not the only ones, there was a VERY BIG MOVEMENT, in theater and film, that the voice, is also an "instrument".

I find it terribly sad, to see it all relegated to simply "lirics" in the rock'n'roll crap style, and not appreciated as a vehicle for another intstrument in the music.

This is the part that is the weakest in the PA when it comes to music and its history. In the end we do not care about inventive and different venues that brought out something else that was not there before.

But all we can think of is "lyrics" and Jane had a gun! Some "lyrics" come off stronger and more to the point and effective, and are better "acted" out, than sung, but we have lost the ability to tell the difference? Again, we have lost the ability to find and create new venues for communication, because we can only determine it by the "lyrics" that we like and understand?

 Moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, moan, bloody moan.
Do you always have to be so condescendingly negative all the time? Is it completely impossible for you to credit the people here with a fraction of your discernment and insight?

...and who is Jane?
 And you are so bothered that you have to spend yor time commenting when someone says something you don't like?

You're just being no different than I, except that you are showing a more negative old side than I am. I'm merely stating that there were other events and ideas that helped bring the music forth but in your mind it's all a fudged up stick of Harry Potter's! 
I've never read a Hairy Pooter book and only sat through a couple of the films, they're not my cup of tea to be honest, but don't let that stop you attempting to belittle me, so please do continue.

You may have something insightful and interesting to say, but you cannot seem to find a way to say it that isn't patronising (as your reply adequately illustrates) and that weakens whatever you point you are trying to make. It is possible to make a point and make yourself look more erudite and informed without making denigrating remarks about the people here on the PA. From my experience the "people here" are incredibly knowledgeable, well read, well educated and have a far broader outlook and breadth of experience than you ever give them credit for.

...that said, who is Jane?
