Thanks, very enjoyable. As a hobbyist songwriter/musician, it really bums me out to think about the process being a chore or "work." I know it's inevitable in life, but it's hard to believe being a rock musician could ever be like punching a time clock.
Yes that is a bummer to think about. Maybe when there isn't as much inspiration and there are a lot of deadlines coming up this can get worse but it shouldn't usually have to feel like that.
Thanks for posting this. I love reading about the songwriting process as I've all but given up on it at this point. Looks like I need to start reading more! The interview with Carl linked in there was good too.
What a wonderful interview. Thanks so much for posting this. It's so refreshing to see the individual members of this band, be just as cool (or cooler) than the awesome music they create.
