That section is definitely for fun, it's not meant to be serious at all.
Also, regarding the quote of my post talking about Leonard Coen - I have nothing against poety in music. In fact, I'm not quite sure what it was in my post that you were objecting to. Anything truly phenomenal that Coen did was praised not for its musicality, but for the poetry of his lyrics. I have never heard anyone say "yeah, his lyrics are good, but damn, what a voice".
What's my point? Ok, you could argue that he plays something that could be called music. You could argue that his poetry is just the major part of his music, but when it comes down to it, the one really really good thing about him is his poetry, and that is what is always focused on. thus, it is more fair to call him a poet than it ever would be to call him a musician, as he was obviously far, far better at the former than the latter.
