Interesting comments:

(IMO) Near rhymes may be in vogue, until no one buys them any more--I have been listening to RHYMES and REASONS for years--I like some that are expected, if the idea of the song is enhanced. An unexpected rhyme may add flavor, to the sauce of the song, coupled with colorful language of normal conversation. If the predicted rhyme scheme makes the song, one you think most people would buy, then use it! WANTED: ONLY THE GREAT SONG! Clever rhyme schemes.

Sometimes, an idea of a song is so powerful, the song needs no rhyme.

A Survival Guide to the New Music Industry, by Justin Goldberg, has a lot of Information behind the scenes of Music Biz and A & R-- Lawyers and Accountants, Guard the Coffers! But Artists Need Great Songs--For whatever RHYME or REASON-IT'S WHAT EVER IT TAKES!
