Wow, this guy might be a worse arbitrary name-dropper/referencer than the rapper Milo. Didn't think that was possible.

Yeah.

Lol I just noticed that he's the one annotating his songs. He's gotta make sure people get his literary references. What a fag.

Any common person wouldn't even come close to deciphering his lyrics as well as he's done, that's actually pretty commendable.

Dumb ass.

They don't need to 'decipher' them.

isnt this kind of like plagiarism?

If he wants to make points and references about higher culture than he should be an essayist. He's chosen to be a songwriter. His songs have to stand alone. If he chooses to litter them with references, that's a choice some people pick. But leave it to whoever happens to know the references to get them. Why lay it all out for people?
