Screw writing for the sake of artistic expression
By the way, I just ran out for lunch after that last post and when I got in the car "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was playing. I've been trying to avoid mushy love stuff, but that just made me chuckle.
And then I sang along and reminisced about Bill and Ted, who were spoken word performers, before it was a cool as it is now.
Later, they played "I'll Tumble For Ya'" by Culture Club. It's so much better to have stuck in head than hear this crappy redneck women song that's on right now in the office.
That's where the money is at though, isn't it? Writing an anthem? Like "I Will Survive". Or that timeless love song like "Unforgettable". Or a drinking song like "Friends In Low Places" or whatever the hell it's called. You know the one. Write that one song that will be requested at weddings, proms, karaoke, and places where drunk people gather, and is likely to be licensed for use to sell stuff and you'll be set for life.
Ha, if someone yells out in the bar or club, "OOoo, girl! That's my song!" then you know you've truly made it.
