No, I noticed as well that some of the rhymes in the article are perfectly good as rhymes; clearly what's being objected to is the contrived writing needed to get to them. And that's my problem with 'L.A. Woman': the entire line, "You know they are a liar" in which the singular "a liar" disagrees with the plural "they are". David Patch
