John Rich's Songwriting Tips #49
Sizzle baby sizzle. If you have problems writing songs with depth, gravity or lasting significance, at least have the good sense to slap in as many puns, hip phrases and well-known axioms as humanly possible. If you can't do any of those things either, find yourself a duo of attractive females who appeal to the prime demographic and have them sing whatever crappy pop-country song you pull from your creativity-barren soul and foist them upon the unwitting public with a flashy video and well planned promotional campaign. Street teams are also helpful. In no time at all, these seeds should reap you a harvest of radio adds. Take it from Rich, even if you've got a Vienna sausage, if you talk it up enough, people will think it's a 2-foot kielbasa. Wisdom from the man who's slung it.

Country Doppelgangers 11: Alt-Country Day
Ryan Moore Adams has the whole Harry Potter thing going on.
Roger Clyne of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers strongly resembles Encino Man era Pauly Shore.
Neko Case reminds me of actress Debra Messing.
I have a feeling Justin Townes Earle will look a lot like actor Harry Dean Stanton in about 40-50 years.
Ben Nichols, lead singer of FTM favorite Lucero, and Sabretooth aka Liev Schrieber.
Sorry, Lucinda...
