Just trying to understand what the statement means. The President is a fink. |

Billie: before my time Ella: excellent suggestion , one of my favorite voices ever. Taylor: heh, that's cute. I'm probably too old to appreciate, by my kids would say Beyoncé is more influential among her contemporaries. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Another tremendous talent. I read a story that she and Goffin were taking a walk in Manhattan when a record executive pulled up in a lemo, rolled down the window and said he was looking for a new song for Aretha, maybe call it "Natural Woman". Carol and Goffin had Aretha's hit the next day. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Musical genius seems to be like that. Tunes just pop out of their fingers. I heard a similar story about John Lennon and “A Hard Days Night” |

It's a science. Most of them write many bad songs that we'll never hear. One of the big songwriters, I wish I could remember who, said he writes 5 songs a day. Like it's a 9 to 5 job. And if he does that, he may get half a dozen a year that will go somewhere. But to get that half a dozen, he has to write 2000. Like Edison with his light bulb. He tried over 3000 filaments before he got the one that worked right. Songwriting is no different. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

One of his songs, "Like a rock" has been recorded by multiple artists. He writes songs, like you said sometimes more than one or two per day, sometimes writers block, he says some of his best songs are written in fifteen minutes. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I don't know how true the story is, but the story goes that Michael Jackson was a Simpsons fan and wanted to do a guest appearance. So he tell the producers, "Put me on and I will write you a hit song." Said it like that as if he could just crank out a hit song at will. The President is a fink. |
