As It Turns Out, As An Adult

Writing Songs Is A Profession; So It's Not An Attempt To Take Things From My Interactions With Other People And For Some Reason Give Them To A Total Stranger To Listen To. I Find It Offensive To Hear Other People Do That.

The First Music I Bought When I Was Nine Or 10 Was Pop Music From The '50s And '60s, Like The Everly Bros., Elvis, Del Shannon, The Flamingos, The Platters, Whatever I Could Get My Hands On. And Then Some Musical Things, Like Camelot, Singing In The Rain And Hair.

My Dream Many Years Ago Would've Been To Continue To Write And Record Songs In Record/album Form For Years To Come, But Now Records Aren't What They Were Then - And So It Doesn't Actually Feel Very Good To Make A Record Of Songs.

I Make The Songs And Part Of Making Them Is Singing Them. But What You Hear Is Not Me. It's The Song. It's Through Me.

I Think Everybody Works From A Defensive Position, For The Most Part, In The Film Industry.
