John Rich's Songwriting Tips #10


Leave your politics at the door of the writing room. Famous people always think they should use their stage for a soapbox. Nobody wants to hear what incorrect liberal thoughts Bruce Springstink has about the fine previous administration or hear what vile venom Fatalie Maines is spouting this week. Just because Obama is doing a terrible job with the economy and basically everything else, you'll never hear it from me in a song I write or sing.. or anytime else. Shut the blue-green hell up and act, or sing, or whatever the crap you do.

YouTube Gems: Charlie Robison

The new Charlie Robison album Beautiful Day is fantastic. I would already count it among my favorite releases of the year. It comes out this Tuesday, June 23 and if you don't buy it, you're stupid. Okay, that's not nice, but you'd do well to purchase it. It's his best album since Bandera, in my humble opinion. You can attempt to win an autographed copy at Country California and The 9513! I couldn't find any live recordings of any of his new songs, so instead here's the very fine video for "El Cerrito Place" from his last album, Good Times. Have a nice weekend and Happy Fathers Day to all you dads!
