[edit] comments

I'm slightly concerned that this article reads more like a hagiography than an encyclopedia entry - Donald Ian Rankin 11:24, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

that's for sure, AND just about the whole thing is one long paean of praise written for something other than wikipedia. Sfahey 13:56, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

While I agree that the tone of the article is excessively promotional, I note that it is more richly textured than, say, the article on his contemporary Lorenz Hart, who was at least as significant a lyricist if not more so.--Tomstoner 15:29, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
