I wanna write some lyrics. Give me some homework! [View all]

I learned bass by studying and playing with Paul McCartney, Prakash John and Mike Gordon.

I learned guitar by studying and playing with The Stones, The Beatles, Lou Reed and VU.

I learned keyboard by - -well I learned that when I was 6. And in all truth, I learned guitar when I was 14...

BUT I DIDN'T GET GOOD at the guitar until I was in Peace Corps and played along with my 12 string to all that stuff. And later with my Strat.

Keyboards - want a fun one? Fender Rhodes virtual organ to Stones' You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Seriously, that's the bomb

Anyway - I need to write lyrics. Who should I study?

Everything I write sounds like shit.

I'm a Journalist/Tech Writer, not a Bob Dylan, dammit!
