Table of Contents
People just talk : speech versus writing
Mere rhetoric : the decline of oratory
"Got marjoram?" or why I don't have any poetry
Rather too colloquial for elegance: written English takes it light
What happened to us? or play that funky music, white folks
La la la through a new lens : music talks to America.
