I Write With Music. I

I Remember That, Before John Lennon Died, Everyone Was Saying That Rolling Stone Couldn't Do Good Reporting Anymore. But When He Died, They Wrote This Amazing Issue, As They Should Have About Lennon. They Did That When Elvis Died, Too.

I Used To See A Lot Of Cocaine. There Were Journalists Who Used Cocaine And Didn't Write About It And I Didn't Write About It. I Would Never Do Drugs, So I Would Always Get The Same Response From People: "smart Kid, More For Me." Whether It Was A Joke Or Sincere Or Both, But I Was Just Happy Not To Be In There Partying With The Band Like Some Of These Other Journalists.

And I Liked That Whole Idea That Energy Comes From Not Disseminating Your Ideas And Talking About Them.

Time Puts Things In Proper Perspective.

Sometimes Things You Write Are Messages To Yourself. Even Though I Think My Stuff Has A Particular Voice Because You Are Who You Are, It's Good To Switch It Up, Professionally And Personally. The Dare To Be Great Situation Is Always Going To Be The One That Matters The Most.
