I've been listening to CotHM a bit more, and it seems I'm only taking
shots at JS, and not giving credit where he deserves praise.  I'm not
saying ALL his lyrics are bad, and in fact, some are pretty good
indeed:
TOGR:  Vintage BOC stuff.
Pocket:  Great song in all respects, lyrics included
EotH:  Again, good lyrics, and very BOC-ish
GtFH: Not the greatest, but still good, and plenty quirky.

Could you give some examples of Hite's stuff?  I'm not familiar with
his work...
