Thanks for the update. About lyrics, Sarah Paris reached out to me about an article where I credited the artist and the lyric source. She told me that legally, it still isn't allowed. Apparently, there are very limited ways in which you can legally use lyrics. The chances of it being a problem is remote but does happen, as I once used lyrics from Van Morrison, properly credited, and I received a formal legal notice with a strongly worded warning to remove it immediately. Maybe check with Sarah on the fine points. It's one of the reasons I've strayed from writing music related articles.
