Today in our writing class, we spoke about what influences writers to come up with some of their work. The topic revolved around external influences, such as dreams, nightmares, or just events in the writer's life. Some people induce sleep deprivation in order to intensify their dreams. When they wake, they quickly jot down, or vocally record what they were dreaming of, before they forget.
Music is a lot like writing books. The difference, I pointed out, was the use of drugs. I guess I'm from a different time in history as no one else seemed to understand.
I wonder if Timothy Leary, (OK, go ahead and Google him, I'll wait,) should have received a percentage of royalties for songs that he indirectly helped to create!
