I don't know a lot about poetry, but if the writer says it was inspired from Soul Kitchen, I will believe him. ��

Not everything is about Richie.��
That's true. But this particular writer also said years ago that he wrote songs for movies and there was no personal stories there, then admitted years after the fact, on the box set DVD, that they were his stories and he was hiding behind the characters.

So ya just never know, do ya?
