Yes.  Interesting phrasing.  Considering starting a...literary society?

Well, really I'd been thinking about a sing-along club, although a full-fledged lit club might make more sense... especially if the Song Prop fails...

Proposal 1377/0: Sing Along! (Wonko)

No. Rap is technically considered music, and therefore gives too much leeway.

According to Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, music involves the succession of tones. In fact, there is a specific note: "Not all sounds are tones. Sounds may be unmusical and yet please the ear. Music deals with tones, and with no other sounds. See Tone." This would suggest that something such as rap, which focuses more on beats than tones, is not actually music. Unless you mean in the zoological sense, where it means "A more or less musical sound made by many of the lower animals. See Stridulation."

I guess the question is, does Dave consider a work of Rap to be music?
