I remember reading about 20 years ago a biog of Bob Dylan that described him driving across the US of A with "a typewriter and rhyming dictionary". It was right around the time I started multitracking. I'd never heard of such a thing and thought it was a daft idea (mind you, at that period, I said I'd learn every chord and never use a capo ! Then I met Eb and those diminished sustained 11 add 9ths !! ). Some years later the seed had evidently bloomed and I bought one. It sat on my bookshelf for a year or two and one day I decided to look through it and I forced myself to write a song with it. I was rocking my then baby son to sleep and that inspired me to write a song in which I used rhymes from the dictionary. I remember lots of words from it and the one that really stands out is "Kabuki". As I'd use a word, I'd look it up to see what it meant. I was really proud of the song, I still love it. This was about 9 years ago. I never used the rhyming dictionary again and I swapped it earlier this year for Suzi Quatro's autobiography.
I figured they have a lot of weird words in them, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to check it out.
