Name That Blog Topic!!
Here’s the deal. I have nothing going on. I have wasted this entire week in ways that I never thought possible. I would like to write a blog, but i can’t think of anything. So at this critical moment, I ask you, what would you like me to write about? Any and all suggestions will be open to consideration. In some ways, the more ridiculous the better but topics of substance are good too. Post a blog title in the comments section and I will make it happen. What do you get out of this? A co- executive producer credit if you pick the winning title and the happy feeling that you’ll get from preventing a bored musician from going to beauty school. Or to the mall.

When I can’t think of anything for my blog, I usually refer people to other blogs that I’m digging.

How ’bout your feelings about mimes or miming (is that even a word)? Well, actually miming isn’t much of a written medium, is it? Only folks who like mimes are mimes and parents of mimes. I don’t think mimes’ siblings would claim them. okay, I’ll stop rambling…

I think you should apologize to Rush Limbaugh for calling him a drug-addled gas-bag in your thought bubble.

I met up with Stacy’s folks and grandma (I was a student in Norman) and then we went and ate dinner and then met up at the Sake house. I remember there being like 15ish people there and I can remember a guy sitting at the bar totally not paying attention and just watching whatever the hell was on the bar tv - so tell us about that place if you remember or some similar “we were a starving band playing in shithole, WI”

A great opening lyric can just draw into a song, transport you to another world or situation right out of the gate. As an awesome lyricist, what are some of your favorite opening lyrics? Not just a list, but a blog with details about why it’s great, what it says about the artist and how it inspires you as a lyricist. Maybe readers could respond with thoughts about some of your best opening lines.
-USA
Partially inspired by C-roy’s myspace quiz (BTW C-roy: are you talking about the Hanleys of Clam Point?)

write about your first love..the guy you lost your virginity too…and all the neive
stupid bullshit that went along with it, as well as how awkward it probobly was….and how you may have had your heart broken……blah blah…anything and everything you casn remember from the experience even though it was so may years ago lol….
people love that kind of personal truth and heartbreak shit.

I like USA’s opening Lyrics Idea. I did that a few year back on my blog after there was a poll on a hip hop board about the best opening rap lyric of all time. I believe either Rakim’s “Thinking Of A Master Plan” or LL Cool J’s “Don’t Call It A Comeback” won.
As for another topic for you blog how about “Orphans: The Songs That Did Not Make The Album”
You could even bless us with some demos of songs you have written that did not make the cut for one of your albums or someone else’s album and discuss why you did not put them on there.
