What Inspires You to Write a Song?

<< < (4/4)

Zingoleb:
I just get random inspirations and write them down as they come when I get the chance. A lot of times I'll lift things directly from things I'm watching or reading and change it around (and I mean fuck it - DyDlan does this, Lennon did this, I'm in good company).

Then later on when I'm trying to writ, I'll go through pages of random lines and ideas and pull things out and try and work out what fits together. Sometime it ends up working well in an almost disjointed way, bu flows nicely, and that's usually the best.

It'll be great fi I ever get to a poin where people are trying to figure out what I mean and I'm just ripping off random Terry Pratchett nobels.

As for music, I just noodle and noodle and noodle and every once in awhile I make some good fucking pasta.

With botticelli sauce. I'm not sure bittoicelli was even an chef.

Dylan's Robert on plagiarism concerning "Modern Times".


--- Quote ---“In folk and jazz, quotation is a rich and enriching tradition,” Dylan said. “That certainly is true.”

Then he quickly ups the ante.

“It's true for everybody, but me. There are different rules for me. And as far as Henry Timrod is concerned, have you even heard of him? Who's been reading him lately? And who's pushed him to the forefront? Who's been making you read him? And ask his descendants what they think of the hoopla. And if you think it's so easy to quote him and it can help your work, do it yourself and see how far you can get.

Either being fucking miserable or having a collaborator to compete with.
